Use the selective backup option...you have to tell TSM what filesystems/drive letters to backup but it does work.

I know about changing the management class attribute copymode to absolute. What I'm trying to do is run a monthly full backup to improve our restore performance. What we're running into are many tape mounts doing a point in time restore even in a co-located storage pool. Bill Cargill Sr. Technical Support Specialist 425-783-4466 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
