Management classes

IBM® Storage Protect uses management classes to determine how to manage your backups on the server.

Every time you back up a file, the file is assigned a management class. The management class used is either a default selected for you, or one assigned to the file with an include option in the include-exclude options list. The selected management class must contain a backup copy group in order for the file to be backed up.

Select Utilities → View Policy Information from the backup-archive client GUI to view the backup policies defined by the IBM Storage Protect server for your client node.
