90 day retention management class

[J1gh2]

Hi folks

I want to create a new management class with 90-day retention period but I am not sure which parameter I can use to specify the 90-day retention.

Can someone shed some light please? How do I get to specify the 90-day retention period?

Thanks in advance

Define the mgmtclass with the name that you want.

define mgmtclass ... check the reference guide for the full syntax or from the command line issue "help define mgmtclass" (no quotes).

Once we have the mgmtclass with the name that we want.
Then define the backup copygroup.
See the reference guide for the full syntax or from the TSM Server Command Line issue "help define co" (no quotes).

The version data exist controls how many version,
since we want to keep the files for 90 days. Set the version data exist to NoLimit.

The retain extra version controls how long to keep the inactive vesion. Set this parameter to 90 since we want to keep the files for 90 days.

Also keep in mind that if a file changes every day.
By the end of 90 days there will be 90 versions of the file.

Good Luck,
Sias

Thank you very much Sias.

I have now created the class and set the appropriate values. I had not understood the relationship between mgmt class and copy groups but I do now. Thanks very much.

Best regards
