Del, Any thought about COPY type backups for MSSQL?

This is the same way it works when backing up "files" to the TSM Server. If you want to have DP/Exchange backups with different policies... One way that many customers are doing this is to use Data Protection for Exchange COPY type backups. You can create a separate management class for COPY type backups and bind the COPY type backups to that special management class. (See User's Guide on how to bind COPY-type backups with the INCLUDE statement in the DSM.OPT file for DP/Exchange.) Another way is to create a separate NODENAME with different policy sets and run occasional backups using that alternate NODENAME.
