Dear Yudi, might not solve your problem but there are a few things which need to be discussed:
1) All backup copy groups have exactly the same (default?) retention settings. Therefore I can not see any reason why you have setup different management classes. 2) There is one backup copy group which refers to a non-existing or non "readwrite" storagepool named WEEKLY_DISK_POOL. Any backup using that management class will most-likely fail unless there is a valid and writable "Next Storage Pool" defined for that primary storage pool 3) TSM stores directory tree information first as far as I know. In order to make sure that directory tree metadata information will be available as long as there is valid backup data, TSM will by default use the management class with the logest retetion period to store directory information. In theory if all management classes have the same retention levels it should store the directory information with the same management class which is used during a backup session to store the actual files. Wonder if it happens in your case that TSM selects the inappropriate MC for directory information and therefore fails (e.g. tries to backup that data into the WEEKLY_DISK_POOL). Please (only for test purpose) add the following line to your dsm.opt and retry backup: DIRMC DAILY_MC This will force TSM to use a specific management class for directory information.
