Fellow TSM'rs, I have been tasked to provide a backup schedule to provide weekly, monthly, and yearly full backups for a 5 year duration. The weekly would be retained for a month, monthly for a year, and yearly for 5 years. I've created separate policies, nodenames, etc. to keep the policy retentions separate. The problem I have is the actual TSM client schedule on the server.
How do I keep the weekly selective backup from running at the end of the month when the monthly selective is supposed to kickoff? Same thing for the monthly at the end of the year when the yearly selective will kickoff? I'm running TSM server 5.3.3.0 and BA 5.3.4 and I see the Enhanced Schedule capability to provide DAYOFWEEK and WEEKOFMONTH to which I can set Saturday as DAYOFWEEK and First,Second,Third as WEEKOFMONTH but some months have 4 weeks while others have 5. Also, I can't set the weekly to be every Saturday BUT the last Saturday of the month and the montly to be every last Saturday BUT the last Saturday of the year. Any suggestions?
