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

Dirmc

Authorized User

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.
