Michelle, All you have to do is define a management class with the proper retention period, don't forget to activate the policy set. Then from the client run dsmc archive -dirmc=thenameofthatmanagementclass (This binds the archive to that specific management class) This is the key option you need. Use -subdir=yes if you want subdirectories and then specify the folders to archive. You can add -description="Whatevername you want to give" Geoff Gill TSM Administrator NT Systems Support Engineer SAIC E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (858) 826-4062 Pager: (877) 905-7154
