In the management class you set the primary storage pool. To run the first backup just direct it to the TAPE primary management class that is the NEXTPOOL for the DISK management class. After the first backup, change the storage pool to the DISK management class.
Backups are determined by the node/filespace in the backups table regardless of the storage pool the reside on. Remember, data on a server can go to limitless storage pools (actually TSM does have a limit on the total number of storage pools). All you are doing here is directing the data to another storage pool for the first backup. Paul D.

Hi everyone! I am creating a new management class for a user that wants all files backed up incrementally no matter if it is open or not. I know that I have to use the dynamic parameter for copy serialization. On a normal day I want the backup to go to the disk pool, but the first time this server backs up it will back up the entire 202 GB server. My problem is that the disk pool is only 34 GB. I want to direct the first backup directly to tape and all future backups to disk. How do I do this? If I tell the user to first use a MC that goes directly to tape and then use a MC that goes to disk for all others, will it not try to do a backup of all files for the second incremental backup since it is technically using a new MC class or does it go by files that exist? Thanks in advance for any help!!! Joni Moyer Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (717)975-8338
