Joshua, I think you may have just re-phrased my question.
The TSM Admin. Guide (Chapter 12 (sub-head How TSM Selects Files for Policy Operations)) speaks of being able to; 1) "request a full incremental backup" or 2) "request a partial incremental backup" The book sez; 1) when requesting a "full incremental backup" the mode (modified/absolute) is checked. 2) when requesting a "partial incremental backup", no mention of mode is made. I assume it is not even checked. Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/09/2002 12:46:57 PM >>> What exactly do you mean 'partial' backup? Do you mean the standard TSM incremental backup? If so that would be in the copygroup mode parameter. But of course from the GUI or the CLI, your users can still request a full backup without changing this parameter on the server. -- Joshua S.

How can I tell if my backup(s) are requesting a "full" or "partial" backup? Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED]
