Thanks. Just wanted to double check since I've never done this before. Thanks again, Eric

Changes to the management classes/copy groups do not take effect immediately, they take effecty when you Activate the policy set. That will make the Changed policy set and Active the same. Changing RETEXTRA and RETONLY to 180 will do what you want. The only time you should have to stop/restart your TSM server are to apply server maintenance, to restore the data base (hopefully something you nEVER have to do!) or (sometimes) to clear a hardware problem.

I'm new to the policy sets and someone else set them up for the server. I need to make a change to a Policy Set and was wondering if I needed to stop and start the server for the change to take affect. I need to change the Retain Extra Versions and Retain Only Version from 30 days to 180 days(6 months). If I go into the POLICY SET and drill down to "STANDARD Backup Copy Group" for the policy and do a "Update Copy Group" and change from 30 to 180 will it take affect immediately or do I need to be at the Policy Sets, Select "Validate Policy Set", then "Activate Policy Set". Also when I "Activate Policy Set" does this move it to the "ACTIVE" so both are the same. I need to keep all copies of the file for 180 days. I'm running TSM 5.2.2 server on AIX 5.2. ======================================================================== ============= Backup Copy Groups : UNIX6MONTH UNIX6_MONTH_POLICY UNIX6_MONTH_MGMT STANDARD Policy Domain Name UNIX6MONTH Policy Set Name UNIX6_MONTH_POLICY Mgmt Class Name UNIX6_MONTH_MGMT Copy Group Name STANDARD Versions Data Exists NOLIMIT Versions Data Deleted NOLIMIT Retain Extra Versions 30 Retain Only Version 30 Copy Mode MODIFIED Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC Copy Frequency 0 Copy Destination DISKPOOL3 Table of Contents (TOC) Destination - Last Update Date/Time 2004-08-24 07:31:25.000000 Last Update by (administrator) JONES Managing profile - Have a Great Day, Eric Jones > * [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *: 607-751-4133 Cell : 607-972-7621
