Copy Frequency

Copy frequency is the minimum number of days that must elapse between successive incremental backups. Use this attribute during a full incremental backup. For Windows NT, 2000: This management class attribute is ignored during a journal-based backup.

Copy frequency works with the mode parameter. For example, if frequency is zero (0) and mode is modified, a file or directory is backed up only if it changed since the last incremental backup. If frequency is zero (0) and mode is absolute, a file is backed up every time you run an incremental backup against it. This attribute is not checked for selective backups. Journal-based incremental backup differs from the traditional full incremental backup in that Tivoli Storage Manager does not enforce non-default copy frequencies (other than 0).

For archive copy groups, copy frequency is always CMD (command). There is no restriction on how often you archive a file.
