Strange tape behaviour !!!
Hi all, first I have to thank all those who replied to my previous qustions ... Very strange tape behaviour I need to report. I perform a backup directly on tape. What is sometimes happening is that TSM decides the tape is full and marks it as unavailable!!! And the tape is just at 15% of its capacity!! Did anyone had this kind of problem? thx you, Sandra __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.yahoo.com
result code ? - second try
Hi together, i asked this question a few days ago, but didnt get any responses...so I try it again ;-) since we have upgraded our TSM server from 4.1.3 to 4.1.5 on OS/390 2.10 we get result codes ? from the clients in some cases (clients are 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0). But i dont know why this happens? Anybody know where this code come from and why it did not have a known number? thanks in advance... -- regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen Joachim Stumpf Datev eG Nuremberg - Germany

Hi everybody! TSM4.2.1.2 WIN2000 Into the same API code, I need to send objects to 2 different ARCHIVE POOLS.

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
TSM Development is fully aware of the log issue and based on some conversations at SHARE, I am comfortable that they are taking steps to address it (with or without a requirement). I don't think this issue will be completely solved quickly, as it is a rather complex set of problems. In the short term, look for tools to show up that will help TSM administrators to identify which session has the log tail pinned, and also address one of the issues that Paul refers to below, which causes the log head to advance quickly (and shows up as a high dirty page count). When the log fills, two things happen: The log tail must be pinned by a long-running in-flight transaction, and the log head must advance around to catch up to the tail. To keep the log from filling, you can either release the tail or slow down the head. It is not easy to identify the session or thread that has the log tail pinned. I don't know if the tools I refer to above have shown up in 4.2.2 or 5.1 (we're still running 4.2.1). There are a couple of things that can advance the head quickly. Inventory expiration and filespace deletion. If you find yourself in a situation where you see the log filling quickly and don't know what has the tail pinned, check for these two processes and kill them if you see them. This will significantly slow down the growth rate of the log, and give the oldest in-flight transaction more of a chance to complete. We have written a monitor to do this automatically, and it has really helped us. If neither of these processes are running, then you can start guessing about which session might have the tail pinned. In this situation, we look for an old session that has been running for a long time. This might be a session backing up over a slow speed line. If the log nears 100%, we try to avoid it filling completely by cancelling all sessions (if we have time) or simply HALTing the server and restarting it. This generally clears the log when the server comes back up, and avoids having to do an offline extend of the log (which has already been discussed). If you are running logmode=rollforward, be aware that when you later reduce the log size to delete the temporary extension, you will (I think) trigger a full database backup. If you are at v4.2, you can have a larger log, up to 13GB. This can also provide some relief. ..Paul At 12:13 AM 5/2/2002 -0400, Seay, Paul wrote: Actually, this was significantly discussed at Share and the basic requirement is TSM, take action whatever necessary to keep the server up.

Re: migration (diskpool) --- copypool then onsite pool (issues)
After running your disk to copy backup ( backup stgpool primarypool copypool), run a backup from onsite tape to copy tape (backup stgpool onsitetapepool copypool). You should do this even if you do not have any straight to tapes. What happens if a disk pool gets full and migrates or a new file will not fit on disk and goes straight to tape. This backup of onsite tape to copy tape will pick up anything missed during the disk to copy tape backup. -- Phillip Ford Senior Software Specialist Corporate Computer Center Schering-Plough Corp.

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
I wonder, also, if there is still any discussion about supporting the use of an alternate RDBMS underneat TSM. It is quite clear that there are many more sites with database sizes in the 25-50GB+ range. Five years ago I felt very lonely with a database of this size, but given the discussions on the listserv over the past year I feel more comfortable that we are no longer one of the only sites supporting TSM instances that large. It has always seemed to me that the database functions of TSM have been the most problematic (deadlock issues, log full issues, SQL query performance problems, complicated and unclear recommendations for physical database layout, etc.). All of these problems have been solved by Oracle, DB2, and Sybase. Granted there is the issue that plugging in an external database adds greatly to the complexity of TSM, and reduces it's black box-ness, but I think the resources are available to administer such a beast at the large sites that require very large databases.

How is the 3583 connected to the host? Through SCSI or FC? Have you considered upgrading to version 5.0.2.4? Is Removable Media Manager loaded on the W2K host?

Normally, the TSM device driver is more stable than using the Windows driver (\\tapeX shows that Windows is controlling the drives). Strange that nothing happens. Is there anything in the event log?

Re: Loosing drive in IBM3583
What is the firmware level of your drives? I have a 3584 and it came with version 18N2. I started getting DRIVE1 going unavailable about once a week or more often. IBM updated firmware to 22UD and then drive would just get write error and not go unavailable. Replaced drive and o.k. since.

Re: Backup error on win2000 client
Just a general observation... 4.2 client a 3.7 server is not listed in the general supported environments matrix. An environment as a whole is only supported if the clients are 1 level back same level 1 level forward of the tsm server to which they back up. Granted this doesn't help your current situation but needs to be pointed out. Also your server is out of support (as of Oct 31st I believe) this doesn't help your situation either... In your sched.log is there a specific file that it is failing on ? ? ? might try running a backup of just that file to see if that will run... if that blows also, might try using that file to verify it. but I'd look into bringing your tsm server up to current levels of software (sorry, I'm sounding like IBM) Dwight -Original Message- From: Niklas Asplund [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 9:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Backup error on win2000 client Hi all I keep getting an error code of ANS1512E when backing up a windows 2000 server.

Re: result code ? - second try
If you are referring to the STATUS of the Q EV output, then this means that the server contacted the client, the backup started, but never completed. This could be due to a network problem, the client server going down, or it's still running. Somewhere in the 4.1 maintenance Tivoli added this '?' status for events that have started, but haven't received any completion response from the client node. Further APARS I saw stated that actual descriptions were to be added instead of the generic '?'. Check the activity log for around the time the schedule started for that node to see if you have any errors. Like 'connection with client severed', or idle timeouts... Also, the status of '?' is NOT listed in a QUERY EVENT output with EX=YES.

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
Hot Diggety! Jolley, Bill was rumored to have written: I have a TSM server located on an IBM SP Node (winterhawk) and would like to recover to a standalone RS/6000 (H80). Do anyone have/know of a procedure or have suggestions? Offhand, best bet is probably to do a mksysb backup (making sure that device drivers for both boxes exists, among other key gotchas) and then a mksysb install from that image. You can't just do a normal file backup and then restore because there are a bunch of system specific stuff such as the ODM entries, installed filesets, etc. Even more critical to get it right when SP and non-SP is concerned. I haven't personally done that with our SP and non-SP nodes as you describe, so that's about all I can suggest from what I've heard from others who has done similar things in the past. It's usually done as a way to recover from a total SP node system failure, rather than migrating to or from the SP, though. -Dan Foster IP Systems Engineering (IPSE) Global Crossing Telecommunications
tape media
2 questions.. 1. Is it possible to recover the data from a tape without the TSM server. I.e. I give someone the tape with some data on it but do not give them a copy of the TSM DB. My understanding is no but I just wanted to confirm there was no 3rd party method of doing so or some expensive ibm service that might be able to do it in a worse case scenario. 2. Even if #1 isn't possible, I assume it's still possible to at least read the tape bit by bit. While it may not be possible to reconstruct files from the data on there, if the data is textual (text files, emails, etc) one could possibly read the data there by displaying the bits in ASCii form. Correct? Specifically I'm speculating on what level of security there is in an individual tape in terms of what someone could do with it if it has sensitive data on it.

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
Tom, I like the taste of this food for thought! I have raised this issue with TSM developers at SHARE and the short summary of their response is Cringe. So I don't think it will happen anytime soon if and most likely it will never happen. I agree with you completely that it would be a great option for site with large databases. Plus TSM would have 2 development teams working on the product - the current one plus the database developers who are always trying to make Oracle, DB2 etc. faster. - Bill At 06:20 AM 5/2/2002 -0700, you wrote: I wonder, also, if there is still any discussion about supporting the use of an alternate RDBMS underneat TSM. It is quite clear that there are many more sites with database sizes in the 25-50GB+ range. Five years ago I felt very lonely with a database of this size, but given the discussions on the listserv over the past year I feel more comfortable that we are no longer one of the only sites supporting TSM instances that large. It has always seemed to me that the database functions of TSM have been the most problematic (deadlock issues, log full issues, SQL query performance problems, complicated and unclear recommendations for physical database layout, etc.). All of these problems have been solved by Oracle, DB2, and Sybase. Granted there is the issue that plugging in an external database adds greatly to the complexity of TSM, and reduces it's black box-ness, but I think the resources are available to administer such a beast at the large sites that require very large databases.

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
Do you have a tape drive physically attached to the SP node? If so then you can do fairly easily. If not then I think you need AIX Sysback to make a mksysb to a remote tape. You can't make a mksysb image to disk and then copy that image to tape - it's not a bootable image. David Longo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/02/02 12:50PM Here is what I need to accomplish or would like to.

Help Understanding Mgmt classes
Hi All - I believe I have my management classes all defined with a major flaw. We do scheduled modified backups during the week and scheduled absolute backups on Sundays. I have two management classes defined. Both have the same retentions coded but one has absolute for the copy mode and one has modified coded. I have a script that swaps the default management class on Sundays. After rereading the manual and looking at the archives of this list, it seems there's no guarantee that the backup will use the default Management class. Also, if I've specified to keep 30 versions of the data in both management classes, does that mean I'm going to retain 30 versions from the absolute and 30 versions of the modified? I really want 30 versions all together. My thought is to create multiply policy sets, and activate the policy set that contains only the management class I want. I would then specify a retention of 4 versions for my policy set that contains the management class for absolute. This won't delete any of my 30 versions that were saved using the policy set that contains the modified management class, will it? Does this make sense, or am I still way off here? Diana
virtual vol going to wrong primary pool on target server
TSMers, I am doing a disaster recovery simulation and have one issue I can't seem to resolve so I would appreciate some help from you all. As with many TSM issues this gets fairly complex so I hope don't confuse you all with the details below. I have 3 tsm servers, all win2k sp2, tsm v4.1.3.0. Their names are: w2ktape1(production server) w2ktape2(production server) w2ktape3(test server) My dr test is to use the w2ktape2 copypool tapes to rebuild w2ktape2 on w2ktape3 as w2ktape3. The dr has been completed up to the point where I need to recover the primary tapepool for w2ktape2. Since w2ktape3 has no tape library I am going to use virtual volume support so that when I restore the w2ktape2 primary tapepool to the new primary diskpool on w2ktape3 it migrates to a primary diskpool on w2ktape1 which will then migrate to a primary tapepool on w2ktape1. I have completed all the definitions to accomplish the virtual vol support between w2ktape3 and w2ktape1 and ran a prepare command to test it. prepare planp=w2ktape2x.recovery.plan devc=w2ktape1_dr Much to my surprise it wrote the prepare plan directly to a tape rather than the diskpool. I then forced a migration from the w2ktape3 primary diskpool which also went directly to tape rather than the diskpool on w2ktape1. The original w2ktape2 server already has virt vol support to w2ktape1 so from w2ktape3 I tried the above prepare command with that device class and it did go to the primary diskpool on w2ktape1. However, it is my production diskpool and I do now want to commingle production data with my dr data. Now I've looked over all the defs shown below and can't see why it is bypassing the primary diskpool on w2ktape1 and going directly to tape on w2ktape1. I think I have included all the relevant definitions. Can any of you see why my defs aren't doing what I wanted? w2ktape3 defs: q devc w2ktape1_dr f=d Device Class Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Device Access Strategy: Sequential Storage Pool Count: 0 Device Type: SERVER Format: Est/Max Capacity (MB): 3,072.0 Mount Limit: 1 Mount Wait (min): Mount Retention (min): 2 Label Prefix: ADSM Drive Letter: Library: Directory: Server Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Retry Period: 10 Retry Interval: 120 Twosided: q serv w2ktape1_dr f=d Server Name: W2KTAPE1_DR Comm.

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
This a very good requirement. Also given that TSM DB is very close to DB2 in design we can hope this TSM-DB2 integration to be possible. Maybe with some restrictions - locally on the TSM server machine, for sure not EEE version, etc. Probably IBM will not discuss Oracle or Sybase usage. The main issue would be with support - which version to be used and how often to move to newer version. At the moment DB2 v7.2 is the current version but when new DB2 version comes available should TSM team migrate or not? If yes, we will go in compatibility difficulaties. If no, TSM server will have to rely on something out of support. And what to do with small sites - DB2 would give them additional complexity. If current engine is to be used for them server code will become more complex and error-prone. At the end - how many sites would really buy it if this feature is separately priced (like ISM for Hardware). I guess not too many and this would be not attractive to IBM/Tivoli. Just some thoughts.

I don't think this issue will be completely solved quickly, as it is a rather complex set of problems. In the short term, look for tools to show up that will help TSM administrators to identify which session has the log tail pinned, and also address one of the issues that Paul refers to below, which causes the log head to advance quickly (and shows up as a high dirty page count). When the log fills, two things happen: The log tail must be pinned by a long-running in-flight transaction, and the log head must advance around to catch up to the tail. To keep the log from filling, you can either release the tail or slow down the head. It is not easy to identify the session or thread that has the log tail pinned. I don't know if the tools I refer to above have shown up in 4.2.2 or 5.1 (we're still running 4.2.1). There are a couple of things that can advance the head quickly. Inventory expiration and filespace deletion. If you find yourself in a situation where you see the log filling quickly and don't know what has the tail pinned, check for these two processes and kill them if you see them. This will significantly slow down the growth rate of the log, and give the oldest in-flight transaction more of a chance to complete. We have written a monitor to do this automatically, and it has really helped us. If neither of these processes are running, then you can start guessing about which session might have the tail pinned. In this situation, we look for an old session that has been running for a long time. This might be a session backing up over a slow speed line. If the log nears 100%, we try to avoid it filling completely by cancelling all sessions (if we have time) or simply HALTing the server and restarting it. This generally clears the log when the server comes back up, and avoids having to do an offline extend of the log (which has already been discussed). If you are running logmode=rollforward, be aware that when you later reduce the log size to delete the temporary extension, you will (I think) trigger a full database backup. If you are at v4.2, you can have a larger log, up to 13GB. This can also provide some relief. ..Paul At 12:13 AM 5/2/2002 -0400, Seay, Paul wrote: Actually, this was significantly discussed at Share and the basic requirement is TSM, take action whatever necessary to keep the server up.

Bill, your colleague was correct, you can restore a non bootable mksysb tape using an install cd. As opposed to doing that, though, just backup your mksysb to a file on your CWS, and then use NIM to restore that mksysb onto your new node. It will handle the tough stuff for ya.

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
You will want to use the CDROM to boot from, that saves you having to put the required code that is needed for your disaster machine on your current SP node. How that works is (briefly): Boot from CDROM, get to where it says something like System Recovery or Recover from mksysb tape - It's been a while since I've done it. At the point where you select the tape device, THEN insert the mksysb tape in drive and continue. What happens is it restores mksysb and at point where you need certain code (like uniprocessor code on a uniprocessor machine and your original machine was MP) then it pulls that code off the CDROM. This means you can take a mksysb tape from any RS/6000 or and restore to any other RS/6000, regardless of processor class or hardware. Important point to mention is that the CDROM has to be at same OS level as the mksysb tape - the original machine! You can spend time figuring what filesets would be needed for target machine and install them on current machine, but this takes detailed examination and you can miss something. And the machine you restore to in a disaster may not be what you had planned on etc. etc. BTW: For rebuilding an AIX machine, the TSM backup is not enough, you need a mksysb tape (or if restoring an SP node, the image on the Control Workstation) to do base restore first. Or a 3rd party product like Bare Metal Restore from The Kernel Group I think does this without a mksysb tape. Hope this helps some. David B.

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
It's been a while since my SP frames went away, so take this with a grain of salt - - At one point, sysback could not be used to 'clone' an AIX system; you needed a mksysb image (and the install cd). I don't know if this has changed. I do know from experience that the system you will be restoring to at the hotsite won't match your contract spec (it will be at least as good as, and possibly better -- like no 10 Mb ethernet, just 10/100 Mb, with different device drivers). Also, with no CWS, you'll need to research how to disable most of the PSSP code on the node. Code that, among other things, does a node lookup in the SDR (on the CWS) to get the IP addresses for your network connections. This may take some doing (my experience ends at PSSP 3.2). Is this the ONLY SP node you need to recover? Or is this a case of our recovery site doesn't have an SP? I've done stand-alone recoveries and SP recoveries, but I've never tried to do a crossover like this.

Yes, you can backup the NDS, but it is not backed up by default! Look in manual uder DOMAIN statement, you have to explicitly specify it.

Re: Netware - NDS - Restoring NDS in case of extreme loss
Hello, Please refer to the Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide Version 5 Release 1 which is available at the Tivoli web site. There is a chapter called Tivoli Storage Manager NetWare Backup and Recovery Guide which documents how to recover machines and NDS considerations (this was formally published as a separate white paper). Even if you are running the TSM V4 Netware B-A client, the information will still apply. I assume that the hidden directory you are talking about is the directory where the NetWare server physically stores the logical NDS information for which that server is responsible. The B-A client does not explicitly backup/restore this directory, but instead relies on using the NetWare backup API via the NDS target-service agent (TSANDS.NLM) to backup/restore NDS objects. Even if this directory were visible to a backup product, I don't think that you would be guaranteed any level consistency during a backup operation. Hope this helps, Jim Smith TSM development I've been asked by our NDS expert, if TSM backs up the netware hidden directory. Apparently it doesn't as I've watched TSM backup the NDS and it backups the individual NDS objects. Has anyone had to do a complete restore of a netware box, including NDS? Did it work, what steps did you take as the backup/archive manual for netware is lacking this kind of information

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
This a very good requirement. Also given that TSM DB is very close to DB2 in design we can hope this TSM-DB2 integration to be possible. Maybe with some restrictions - locally on the TSM server machine, for sure not EEE version, etc. Probably IBM will not discuss Oracle or Sybase usage. This kind of proposal has always struck me as confusing the symptom with the disease. The fundamental problem is the attitude that addressing the current performance and usability problems is a luxury rather than a necessity. If that attitude is fixed, we can safely let the developers decide for themselves whether they need a different infrastructure to meet their performance and usability objectives. If that attitude isn't fixed, pressuring the developers into adopting a different infrastructure will get us slow, cumbersome facilities built on a different infrastructure.

1. Not with 100% warranty but is somewhat possible (especially for the case in q2). Without the DB you do not know what modification of the file is this but contents are visible. 2. In essence yes but if encryption is not used. You still can use TSM client encryption (56-bit DES) to prevent plain text read. If 56-bit is not enough you will need to encrypt data (somehow) before backup.

Even if #1 isn't possible, I assume it's still possible to at least read the tape bit by bit. While it may not be possible to reconstruct files from the data on there, if the data is textual (text files, emails, etc) one could possibly read the data there by displaying the bits in ASCii form.

Re: Netware - NDS - Restoring NDS in case of extreme loss
David, You are correct - NDS not backed-up by default. Question for you - should it be? Some options: 1. backup NDS by default on every server that has a replica stored - this would mean redundant backups and also, as you have pointed out, walking the NDS from all these machines will be a performance concern. At least you would have the NDS backed-up out of the box and could turn off (via DOMAIN) this behavior where it wasn't wanted. 2. backup NDS by default on server with master replica of root partition ( or some other intelligent way of choosing a candidate server). Same as above, maybe this is not the best choice in your environment, but it is at least a choice and will mean that the NDS is backed-up by a machine by default.. Once again, could change behaviors through DOMAIN option. The scenario we are trying to avoid is having the NetWare admin discover that the NDS is not backed-up by default when it is time for a disaster recovery. I am interested in any ideas you or any other user would have about the TSM NetWare B-A client's default behavior when it comes to the NDS. Thanks, Jim Smith TSM development Yes, you can backup the NDS, but it is not backed up by default! Look in manual uder DOMAIN statement, you have to explicitly specify it. Then look at file Ntwback.htm loaded with yoyu Netware client install under ...Tivoli/Tsm/Client directory.

Steve Bennett wrote: TSMers, I am doing a disaster recovery simulation and have one issue I can't seem to resolve so I would appreciate some help from you all. As with many TSM issues this gets fairly complex so I hope don't confuse you all with the details below. I have 3 tsm servers, all win2k sp2, tsm v4.1.3.0. Their names are: w2ktape1(production server) w2ktape2(production server) w2ktape3(test server) My dr test is to use the w2ktape2 copypool tapes to rebuild w2ktape2 on w2ktape3 as w2ktape3. The dr has been completed up to the point where I need to recover the primary tapepool for w2ktape2. Since w2ktape3 has no tape library I am going to use virtual volume support so that when I restore the w2ktape2 primary tapepool to the new primary diskpool on w2ktape3 it migrates to a primary diskpool on w2ktape1 which will then migrate to a primary tapepool on w2ktape1. I have completed all the definitions to accomplish the virtual vol support between w2ktape3 and w2ktape1 and ran a prepare command to test it. prepare planp=w2ktape2x.recovery.plan devc=w2ktape1_dr Much to my surprise it wrote the prepare plan directly to a tape rather than the diskpool. I then forced a migration from the w2ktape3 primary diskpool which also went directly to tape rather than the diskpool on w2ktape1. The original w2ktape2 server already has virt vol support to w2ktape1 so from w2ktape3 I tried the above prepare command with that device class and it did go to the primary diskpool on w2ktape1.

Re: Recovery Log almost 100%
ADSM on the mainframe use to use DB2 and they killed it because of the cost to the customer, both maintaining another product and the actual license cost. The TSM relational engine is optimized for TSM processing. A general relational database cannot hold a candle to the performance differences on equal hardware. The other issue is Tivoli does not want you mucking around in the tables updating them with update commands. The referential integrity is paramount to TSM stability. The real missing piece in TSM's DB engine is the ability to partition the database and parallel backup/restore. More important is the 4K block size that kills IO performance on sequential operations such as a backup/restore. I think Tivoli will see the need and do something about it. These have been discussed at Share. You will find that black box is what most customers require to protect themselves. I realize if they used a general RDBMS that we could extend the code of TSM significantly further than with the current command capabilities. But, that is exactly what they want to prevent. You end up with large customers developing extensions that are impacted by Tivoli architectural changes that carry a loud voice about making changes that affect them and thus prevent progress. I am one of them, trust me it happens. This all said. If you can define the requirements that a RDBMS would solve for you that I have not mentioned, we will carry those requirements forward. Paul D.

It has always seemed to me that the database functions of TSM have been the most problematic (deadlock issues, log full issues, SQL query performance problems, complicated and unclear recommendations for physical database layout, etc.). All of these problems have been solved by Oracle, DB2, and Sybase. Granted there is the issue that plugging in an external database adds greatly to the complexity of TSM, and reduces it's black box-ness, but I think the resources are available to administer such a beast at the large sites that require very large databases.

Gerhard, in TDP for Informix names are formed as follows DBspaces: FILESPACE_NAME - equals to DBSERVERNAME from onconfig HL_NAME - /DBSERVERNAME/DBspace name/ LL_NAME - backup level i.e. L1 backup of rootdbs on server test_srv would be '/test_srv/test_srv/rootdbs/1' Logical logs: FILESPACE_NAME - equals to DBSERVERNAME from onconfig HL_NAME - /DBSERVERNAME/SERVERNUM/ LL_NAME - logical log number i.e. backup of logical log 7538 on server test_srv which is instance 3 would be '/test_srv/test_srv/3/7538' I hope this helps.

Re: Help Understanding Mgmt classes
You are abit confused. The *ONLY* way to have TWO policies applicable to a given file is to use TWO node-names for your backups; swapping policy sets *may* work for your situation, if what you want (and set) is 30 versions of a given file... that piece will work. Files can be bound only to one management class at a time; if you try changing MC for the file, it will change ALL versions to that MC, not just the next backup. The policyset-swap trick is useful when changing from modified to absolute and back; that's about the only use I've ever seen for multiple policy sets. Hope this helps.

We do scheduled modified backups during the week and scheduled absolute backups on Sundays. I have two management classes defined. Both have the same retentions coded but one has absolute for the copy mode and one has modified coded. I have a script that swaps the default management class on Sundays. After rereading the manual and looking at the archives of this list, it seems there's no guarantee that the backup will use the default Management class. Also, if I've specified to keep 30 versions of the data in both management classes, does that mean I'm going to retain 30 versions from the absolute and 30 versions of the modified? I really want 30 versions all together. My thought is to create multiply policy sets, and activate the policy set that contains only the management class I want. I would then specify a retention of 4 versions for my policy set that contains the management class for absolute. This won't delete any of my 30 versions that were saved using the policy set that contains the modified management class, will it? Does this make sense, or am I still way off here? Diana

Re: TDP Copy Groups
No it doesn't, depends on what versions of TDP you have. With TDP SQL 2.2 you can do normal versioning like you would for plain old NT or unix files. With TDP SQL prior to 2.2 and for TDP Oracle (all versions as far as I know) you set Verdeleted =0 Retonly=0 (Per manual) The Oracle RMAN scripts actually do the deleting, the difficulty depends on the verion of Oracle you have. If you have TDP SQL earlier than 2.2, then as I recall you setup copy group similarly (check manual) and you have to either delete manually from client or with ver 1.1.2 they provided an autodelete on client that you could set to run and delete versons over certain number of days.
