You create a file device class, eg., DEFINE DEVCLASS LOCALFILES DEVTYPE=FILE FORMAT=DRIVE MAXCAPACITY=1048576K MOUNTLIMIT=3 DIRECTORY="C:\TSMDATA" SHARED=NO For the directory, I recommend to use a local filesystem. Now tell TSM to use this device class for db backup: BACKUP DB ... DEVCLASS=LOCALFILES or DEFINE DBBACKUPTRIGGER DEVCLASS=LOCALFILES ... Rainer Schöpf
