Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Changingretries

System Administrator

The changingretries option specifies how many additional times you want the client to attempt to back up or archive a file that is in use.

Use this option only when serialization, an attribute in a management class copy group, is shared static or shared dynamic.

With shared static serialization, if a file is open during an operation, the operation repeats the number of times that you specify. If the file is open during each attempt, the operation does not complete.

With shared dynamic serialization, if a file is open during an operation, the operation repeats the number of times that you specify. The backup or archive occurs during the last attempt whether the file is open or not.

Notes:

  1. The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
  2. The server can also define this option.

Preferences File

Place this option in the TSM System Preferences file.
