do the directory archives still go to the management class with the longest retention ? I put a 10 year archive management class in systems I built 6 years ago and as people performed thousands of archives a day (for each of hundreds of registered clients) the tsm databases grew out of controll... I believe such issues are currently resolved (one way or another) but I still don't make long term archive management classes available... I deal with those needs in other ways (export of the data/node)

But even if your DB got too big over time, you could use a second instance of the TSM server and use just THAT server for your archives, to split the DB into more manageable pieces. But you shouldn't have to do that for a long time. -----Original Message----- From: Dorothy LIM Kay Choo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 4:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Permanent retention Hi Zlatko, Thks for the suggestion. I understand that the archive function will result in huge database. I believe there is a protential problem if the database grows too big. Because of the above, I tried to used backupset which was recommended to be as a better option.

It can be invoked from CLI by using "dsmc archive <objects> <options>" or from GUI/Web pressing button "Archive" instead of "Backup". With appropriate settings in archive copygroup (which is different from backup copygroup) this is very easy to achieve. Look for "def copy t=a" server command.

Before the application, execute the end-of-day processing, a set of database will be dump. After the end-of-day processing, there is another dump to database which will overwrite the previous. I need to keep both set for a retention of 7 years. Any advise ?
