Hi Sam, I have to say, everything looks good to me from what I see below - what are you looking at to check that your files are getting bound to the default management class and not to the 1YEAR class after all? What do you see if you perform a dsmc restore -pick -inactive against a file matching /BACKUP/outgoing/.../* or take a look at the 'show versions' command on the TSM server ('SHow Versions NodeName FileSpace' should do for you it I think).

Hi all, Accidently sent the mail before without adding all the info! Apologies for the resend. I am having probably a hopefully simple problem with management classes. I backup a server and it goes to the default management class, which has a retention of ninety days. There is one set of data on this server that I want backed up to a different management class so it is retained for a year instead of ninety days. Here is the dsm.sys entry on the client: include /BACKUP/outgoing/.../* CR_ONE_YEAR When I run a q inclexcl on the client I get the following: tsm> q inclexcl *** FILE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE *** Mode Function Pattern (match from top down) Source File ---- --------- ------------------------------ ----------------- Excl Filespace /FMS/fmsprod/gbls dsm.sys Excl Filespace /IBS/ibsprod/gbls dsm.sys Excl Directory /dev Server Excl Directory /unix Server Excl All /.../tmp/.../* Server Excl All /.../oradata/.../* Server Excl All /.../core Server Incl All /BACKUP/outgoing/.../* dsm.sys Excl All /BACKUP/online/.../* dsm.sys No DFS include/exclude statements defined. And on the server here is a q mgmt: tsm: BKP>q mgmt standard standard cr_one_year f=d Policy Domain Name: STANDARD Policy Set Name: STANDARD Mgmt Class Name: CR_ONE_YEAR Default Mgmt Class ?: No Description: Management Class For Critical Systems Space Management Technique: None Auto-Migrate on Non-Use: 0 Migration Requires Backup?: Yes Migration Destination: CRDATATAPE Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN Last Update Date/Time: 2005.06.24 09:38:24 Managing profile: And here is query of the backup copygroup for thius mgmt class: tsm: BKP>q copygroup Policy Policy Mgmt Copy Versions Versions Retain Retain Domain Set Name Class Group Data Data Extra Only Name Name Name Exists Deleted Versions Version --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- -------- -------- ------- STANDARD ACTIVE CR_ONE_Y- STANDARD 7 7 40 366 EAR STANDARD STANDARD CR_ONE_Y- STANDARD 7 7 40 366 EAR Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? When I look on the server for the files it has it only shows the last ninety days still. Thanks!
