Hi Wanda, Scenario 1: I am making multiple changes to my policy set. However, in case I mess something up, I'll first make a backup copy (of the inactive policy set) which will let me throw away my changes if I mess something up.
copy policyset standard standard standard_2014-01-31 Scenario 1a: Alternative to the first scenario: I'll make a copy of the policy set, then make my changes to the new copy. I'll have the original one lying around in case I need to revert. copy policyset standard ps_2013-12-20 ps_2014-01-31 Scenario 2: I am going to activate my latest policy set. However, in case something goes wrong and I need to revert, I'll make a backup copy of the active policy set first: copy policyset standard active active_bkup activate policyset standard ps_2014-01-31 Best regards, - Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | Tivoli Storage Manager Level 3 Technical Lead | [email protected] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager links: Product support: http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/Software/Tivoli/Tivoli_Storage_Manager Online documentation: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli +Documentation+Central/page/Tivoli+Storage+Manager Product Wiki: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli +Storage+Manager/page/Home "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> wrote on 2014-01-31 16:22:13: > From: "Prather, Wanda" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected], > Date: 2014-01-31 16:23 > Subject: Informal Poll: General question about use of policysets > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> > > The TSM books show that you can have multiple policysets per domain. > I don't mean just the active vs inactive, but you can have multiple > policysets like NORMAL, OFFHOUR, WEEKEND, within one domain, and > switch them back and forth. > > I've never done that, or had a reason to.
