Re: TSM backup command line
Hi Bernard! You don't want the client to be able to backup at all? If so, issue a LOCK NODE node. If you just want to disable the manual incremental and not a scheduled one... I don't see an easy solution, other than locking the node during the day and unlocking it just before the backup schedule starts. Not very flexible...

Re: TSM backup command line
I take it you have a specific reason why don't you want him running (completing) a night's backup ? If it is only due to files that change frequently being backed up a second time within a day, you could look into setting the backup copy group's frequency to 1. (all depends on specifically you are wanting to stop) You could do something like have an admin schedule that would lock the node in the morning and unlock it just prior to its next backup (but that can bite you) If the admin is really causing problems (as I know they can) try explaining why they shouldn't be doing what they are doing and how it impacts things overall... If they don't see the light, then go down the ~lock the node out~ road (and make sure and save some of the mail messages where you tried to resolve things in a friendly way.

Re: TSM backup command line
Bernard, I can't think of a direct way to prevent a node from performing an incr backup. Here is a work around. From the TSM server lock that node. This will prevent the node from accessing the server. Set up an two admin schedule. First schedule to unlock the node, so that schedule backup can be done. Once the schedule backup finsh, have another admin schedule to issue lock node. Hope this helps or give you some ideas.

Re: TSM backup command line
... We don't want the want the incremental backup to run. ... As others have pointed out, TSM doesn't provide the exclusion granularity you really need to prevent the client admin from just running 'dsmc i' backups. Perhaps the closest thing is to do 'UPDate Node ... MAXNUMMP=0', to be in effect during the day, to prevent Backup and Archive, but allow Restore and Retrieve. Richard Sims, BU
Re: TSM backup command line
-- ... setting the backup copy group's frequency to 1. Be careful with this. Backup taken either at 22:10 (during schedule) or 11:30 (manual) would prevent your next day regular backup at 22:05. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant
