You say that there is another management class in the domain. Does it have longer retention than the default. If so then the directory objects are bound to this class and if this class is to tape then the directory objects will go to tape.
Hope this helps -- Phillip 320-4462 -----Original Message----- From: William Sherrill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 10:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Backups bypassing disk pool I have some clients (Windows 2000) that are backing up straight to my tapepool instead of the disk pool. My server is AIX 5.1.6.2. and most of the windows clients are running at 5.1.5.9. The clients are associated to a management class that's default management class should cause the backups to go to the disk storage pool. There is a management class within the domain that directs the backups to the tape pool, but I do not have it included in the dsm.opt file, in fact I do not have any management class defined, meaning that it should go to the default. Has anyone experienced this problem? Also, I tried an incremental of the c drive with the disk storage pool empty and it's estimated capacity is 38 gb and it still called for a tape. The capacity of the c drive of the client is under 1.5 gb.
