BUT tdp/r3 doesn't use the backup copy group of the management class, it uses the "archive" copy group. the reason for 4 (or more) is so if you go straight to a tape drive... like this...

This is a test server, which is why there is no data in the storage pools (in case anyone catches that) Make as many different management class ~sets~ as you might ever want to keep data for, that is, I have a set for 10 days, one for 35 days, one for 185 days, 370 days, etc....

Client AIX 4.3, TSM 4.2.1.25, and TDP for R/3 3.2.0.11 (Oracle) Question about TDP. We wanted to use the Management Class on the TSM-server like this: Versions Data Exists NOLIMIT Versions Data Deleted 3 Retain Extra Versions 21 Retain Only Version 30 In the Guide Tivoli Data Protection for R/3 Installation & User's Guide for Oracle is mentioned to define 4 different Management Classes. I was wondering how other people have defined there Management Classes. Support told me to use 4 different Management Classes because it's in the manual so they mention something with it (maybe for in the future), but what is the advantage of 4 different Management Classes. We have 8 TDP-clients. The manual is saying every client his own 4 different Management Classes. It's not easy to manage that way. Besides you have to define an archive-copy group. We don't want to use Versioning in TDP, but use expiration via TSM-client/server. How many days I have to define the archive-copy group. I think it has to be 21 days. I guess that when using Versioning in TDP you have to set these parameter on 9999. Am I right. Is there somebody who want to share the definitons used for TDP for Management Classes and Copy Groups?
