Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Dirmc

The dirmc option specifies the management class you want to use for directories. If you do not specify this option to associate a management class with directories, the client program uses the management class in the active policy set of your policy domain with the longest retention period. Select a management class for individual directories that retains directories at least as long as it retains the files associated with them.

If you specify a management class with this option, all directories specified in a backup operation are bound to that management class.

The dirmc option specifies the management class of directories you back up and does not effect archived directories. Archived directories are always bound to the default management class.

The server can also define this option.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all Windows clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client options file dsm.opt.

Parameters

mgmtclassname
Specifies the name of the management class you want to associate with directories. The client uses the management class name that you specify for all directories that you back up. If you do not specify this option, the client associates the management class with the longest retention period with directories. For Windows 2000: When performing a server-free image backup, you must bind the volume to a management class that has a nonblocked destination storage pool; server-free paths must exist between all of the client disk(s), data mover, and storage pool.
