Hello Michelle, if you did the tasks, Andrew expected in the mail before, you can perform an archive operation with the option archmc=<your_archive_managementclass>.
For example you can use the following command to archive files in your diectory d:\archive: archive archmc=archclass d:\archive\* If you use the option -deletefiles, files archived will be deleted on the client! I think, it's very comfortable to use. Also see your document how to use your Backup/Archive Client. There you can get more information about special options.

Therefore you will need to: 1) Create a new management class in the desired domain/policy set. (See DEFINE MGMTCLASS in the Administrator's Reference.) 2) Create an archive copygroup in the new management class with the desired retention. (See DEFINE COPYGROUP in the Administrator's Reference.) 3) Activate the policy set. (See ACTIVATE POLICYSET in the Administrator's Reference.) If you are not the TSM server administrator, then you will need to have that person perform these tasks. Once the new management class is available, you can run the archive and bind the files to that new management class.

I've been looking for a way on how to do this but the manuals only speak of how the archive client command works. Not really on how things work on the serverside. I assume I'll have to make another managementclaas which defines how long to keep trhe files etc. but I'm not sure how to go about this. below are the specifics on our current mg classes; the domain I'm speaking of is the one called progress. Does anyone have some ideas on how to do this? thnx a lot, michelle ************************************************** *** ---> Q DOMAIN ************************************************** Policy Activated Activated Number of Description Domain Policy Default Registered Name Set Mgmt Nodes Class --------- --------- --------- ---------- ------------------------ BAKKERLA- BAK_POLI- BAK_MNGM- 4 domain voor progress ND CY NTCLASS STANDARD STANDARD STANDARD 34 Installed default policy domain. ************************************************** *** ---> Q MGMTCLASS ************************************************** Policy Policy Mgmt Default Description Domain Set Name Class Mgmt Name Name Class ? --------- --------- --------- --------- ------------------------ BAKKERLA- ACTIVE BAK_MNGM- Yes progress managementcl- ND NTCLASS ass BAKKERLA- BAK_POLI- BAK_MNGM- Yes progress managementcl- ND CY NTCLASS ass STANDARD ACTIVE STANDARD Yes Installed default management class.
