How many tape drives do you have and how long do your backupsets run?

Using 1 nodename for both daily and monthly backups...? Don't you have
problems with versioning? Or did you take into account that you would
always
be getting a version of every file at least once a month.
Is there a reason you couldn't use backupsets for the monthly backup? You
could set up a monthly admin schedule to run a generate backupset for these
node(s). We do this for a client. We defined a TSM server script called
GENBSET that takes the nodename as a parameter and issues the generate
command. We do 4-5 a day, for days 1-28 of each month (since all months
have
28-days). They don't care when during the month the 'monthly' tape is
generated, just that there is one that they can keep for a year. They also
use Autovault to offsite vault these 'monthly' tapes.

I miss something what about the action in the client schedule by default is
: Incremental don't we have to change it to: Full and so we have to insert
in objects all the filesystems ?????????????

Bill,
I do monthly FULL backups by using an admin schedule to changed the
COPYMODE to absolute before the desired server is backed up. I also have
one that switches it back to modified about a hour after the backup starts.
Don't forget to do the ACTIVATE of the updated POLICY. I only use one
node
name per server.

Hi ,
I am new to TSM (mostly self taught) and not too hot on NT either. I need
help from someone with a bit of time and patience to spare.
My objective is to do a full monthly backup in addition to the daily
incrementals for a particular backup client.
I intend to use two different node names, two different Domain policies,
and
two separate schedulers and different dsm.opt files. Maybe run the full
backup in command mode & copy control mode absolute. I would like the
schedules to run without any manual intervention.
Am I on the right track ?
Now how exactly do I go about this ? ( as much detail as you like,please!)
My TSM Server runs NT 4.1 & TSM 4.1
My Backup Client runs NT 4.1
Cheers
Bill Dourado
