Hallo Moses, I although have to make a daily and a monthly backup on the server with different retention periods. I solve the problem by creating to policy domains dayly_pd and monthly_pd where are different management classes. On the node I use two different nodes <hostname>_day and <hostname>_mon which are backed up in the responding policy domain with the responding management class. I have to use two dsm.opt files when i start the two schedulers Use export DSM_CONFIG=$DSM_DIR/dsm.opt or export DSM_CONFIG =$DSM_DIR/mon_dsm.opt in Script to start the two schedulers.
