Backup differents files on weekdays...

[pichi]

Hi everybody,
I have two questions ...
1.- I have defined verexists=3 on my copygroup, and my question is how could i restore using the TSM client GUI the files of one version, for example, the last version?.. (or the versions should appear at the client as the archive versions when i use the retrieve archive option).
2.- I want to backup differents files on weekdays, for example monday "c:\files\*.*" and tuesday "d:\files\*.*", how can i do that? i have defined my cloptset and assigned to my server, but i don't know where or how i could define that the monday backup only the file in the "c:\files" directory and tuesday the "d:\files\"...
do i need to defined that in same the cloptset..??
hope somebody can help me..
thanks in advance..

Just off the top of my head, you could use different nodes if you want to keep it separate SERVER_MON maybe has a "Monday's Data" schedule, and then create a different dsm.opt file and another node SERVER_TUES and associate a "Tuesdays Schedule" to it... Just a thought..

With the TSM Client GUI, on the menu bar if you select view and active/inactive display. This should show the active version abd all the inactive version,

Command line would be:
"dsmc restore -pick -ina \source\path\file_name \traget\path\"

If the inactive version does not show up.
More than likey we have reach the Version Data Exist limit or the Retain Extra Version.

This can not be done with one node due to the fact of data rebinding.

The only way to accomplish this is to setup a 2nd node.
Node A - Inlcude the files that you want to backup.
include c:\files\*
Exclude the files that you do not want to be
backed up.
Exclude d:\files\*

Node B - Include/Exlude opposite of Node A.

Since there are going to be two nodes, there are going to be two schedule daemon/service.


Good Luck,
