I have done this. I edited the STANDARD set, validated and actived it with no problems. I then made sure that the client i question was using the new M Class.
The thing that has confused me is that, will deleted files that were origionally bound to one Man Class get re-bound to a new one during backup. Does this work, even though during the backup session, the deleted files are (of course) not seen by TSM?

Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris. Client in question in for MAC and is 5.1.5.0. Now, what happened was that the admin for the MAC server decided to do a reorg of about 80GB of data, so yes, you guessed it, we ended up backup it all up again. I was not pleased :) But how can I remove these deleted files to stop them being backed up. The original retention settings were as follows :- Versions Data Exists 3 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions 180 Retain Only Version 60 So I changed them to the following and re-ran the inc backup hoping that all the files that would have stayed put for 60 days would go after 5. Versions Data Exists 3 Versions Data Deleted 1 Retain Extra Versions 180 Retain Only Version 5 Now, I have read that the new retention settings would only have taken effect when the files were actually being incrementally backed up and thus the client would see that they no longer existed them and expired them with the new retention settings. Is this correct? If so, do I now have no choice but to wait for the 60 days to be up before the files will disappear and stop hogging tape volumes ?
