Hi All, Using a client backup schedule, is it possible to backup a single directory with spaces in the name, and can the filename have more than 8 digits exampleC:\SQLServer Backups . I need to be more precise than C:\SQLServ* T.I.A Bill

Refer to client manual topic Handling spaces in file names in schedule definitions. I don't understand what you mean by 8 digits: there are no digits in your example; and there's no length restriction, per se, on filespecs. Richard Sims On Apr 26, 2005, at 6:19 AM, Bill Dourado wrote: Hi All,

Other than lowering the backup process prioritys another way to cause TSM to use less resources is to set 'MEMORYEFFICIENT YES' in the options. This will cause TSM to use less memory, and also slow down it's disk scanning. Also check TSM's 'copy group' serialization parameters, the default of
