Kim, I used the '-des' parm to create archive names on Unix systems visible from the GUI interface. This example is for an archive with an 8 day retention.
echo $(date +%Y-%m-%d) 8-day > /tmp/backup.name dsmc archive -archmc= ... -des=\"$(cat /tmp/backup.name)\" Hope it helps, Jim Schneider -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim Hosty Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 7:12 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Automated Backup Sets I am trying to set up a script to run an automated backup set of a node on a monthly basis. I would like to use a variable within the command to insert the current date as part of the backup set name such that the backup set name reads - "backup set of Node A, <Current Date>". Does anyone know how I can do this? Kim M.
