I have recently setup a Directory Management Class, some server-side Client Option Sets pointing DIRMC to that management class, and assigned those option sets to nodes. So now, all new/changed directories should be being managed by that management class (disk based storage, no migration, etc.). I can see that going to each node and issuing a dsmc selective -dirsonly -subdir=yes c:\* g:\* and any other drives that exist will re-backup versions of all directories on the listed disk drives.
But, that's a lot of work. So I tried an immediate action schedule on one of the servers. Action = Selective Options = -dirsonly -subdir=yes Objects = c:\*,d:\*,g:\* and that immediate action schedule finally tried to run 7 hours later, and didn't work. Is there anything I can do from the server to kick off a -dirsonly -subdir=yes backup of ALL existing drives in a list of nodes? From what I am gathering, the selective backup requires a filespace and I have not been able to get *:\* to work yet. Or, do I need to even worry about this? My intention was to (eventually) get all backup versions of directory objects off of tape and stored only on disk. Thanks in advance.
