Am about to start testing using TSM for Informix backups and have not been able to find a good example of how to setup the backup copygroups. IDS 9.21.UC2 on AIX 4.3.3 ML10 with TSM 5.1 Recovery Requirements: PIT recovery within last 12 days. Plan on running 2 L0, 2 L1, and 2 L2 backups per week (one day off). Plan on running onsmsync -g 4 after each successful L0 backup. Possible setup for copygroup parameters: VERE=4 VERD=0 RETE=13 RETO=0. Both backups and logfiles to same copygroup. 1) will this work? 2) will onsmsync actually delete/expire the logfiles? Any setup example that works would be helpful - can always extrapolate for my requirements... Thanks for any help!
