IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

DELETE COPYGROUP (Delete a backup or archive copy group)

Use this command to delete a backup or archive copy group from a management class. You cannot delete a copy group in the ACTIVE policy set.

When you activate the changed policy set, any files that are bound to a deleted copy group are managed by the default management class.

You can delete the predefined STANDARD copy group in the STANDARD policy domain (STANDARD policy set, STANDARD management class). However, if you later reinstall the Tivoli® Storage Manager server, the process restores all STANDARD policy objects.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the copy group belongs.
