Suggest you separate the backups into daily and monthly jobs with separate output dataset names with separate Management classes. You might use GDGs with Limit 45 and 24 for the daily and Monthly backups respectively.
I'm not aware of any way to treat one generation of HSM backup differently from the next generation of the same name. But if I'm wrong someone will correct me. ________________________________________ From: Dana Rupp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 11:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: HSM backup retention Is there a way with HSM to retain a daily backup of a dataset for 45 days and retain a monthly backup of the same dataset for 24 months? This dataset is updated every day. I don't see a way to do this with the management class rules.
