In the "inclexcl" file you can specify what management classes belong to what file, or filesystems/directories if you want logs to be kept for a certain time period and so forth....As far as setting them up typically if you have different retention periods for different things each one of those retentions would be a management class. Setting them up can either be done by the administrative web interface "http://tsm_host_name:1580" or by command line: "dsmadmc" under "define managementclass".

We are currently running ADSM server Version 3. The ADSM/API client installed on the server is version 3.1.20.7. We are using the Onbar utility to backup the Informix database to ADSM. The scheduled Informix backups needs to be kept for the following periods : 1) A full backup to run once a week to be kept for 32 days 2) A incremental backup to run daily excluding when the full backup runs to be kept for 32 days. 3) A full backup once a month to be kept for 2 years. 4) A full backup every 3 months to be kept for 1 year. Please take in consideration the Informix logs must also be backed up. I also need to use the same NODE name as well as the same Storage pool when defining the management class. Your help in the above will be greatly appreciated.
