What about two schedules - one running daily with Objects set to S: - one running on Fridays with Object set to D: Even if they are set to same startup time, TSM scheduler is smart enough to start them in sequence. Or simply set 5 min difference between them. You can still bind all D: contents to a mgmtclass with frequency of 7 days using Andy's include syntax.

The include syntax for your D: drive would be: include d:\...\* pst_mgmt_class But I don't think that this would work very well since there is almost certainly no guarantee that everything on D: changes every Friday, in lock-step A couple of possibilities: 1) Create schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Weekend. For the Friday schedule, set the OBJECTS parameter to D: S:. For the other schedules, set OBJECTS to S: only. 2) Create a single schedule with OBJECTS="D: S:". Then create two Admin schedules: - One to issue UPDATE SCHEDULE for the client schedule that sets OBJECTS="D: S:". Schedule this to run just before the Friday backup. - One to issue UPDATE SCHEDULE for the client schedule that sets OBJECTS="S:". Schedule this to run before the Saturday backup.

Hello All, NT 4 Client with TSM 4.2.15 Server AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.2.11.14 I have a client with 2 drives; D: and S:. I need everything on the D: drive to only be backed up on Fridays. But I need the S: drive to continue doing a daily backup. What is the best way to accomplish this scenario? 1. Create a management class with a frequency of 7 and assign this management class to the entire D: drive. But if I use this option how do I assign the entire D: drive to this management class in my client option file? Include "D:" PST_MGMT_CLASS Or 2. Is there a way to create a schedule on the Server and have that schedule use a particular option file on the client? Thanks Chad
