Re: Remote clients transferring GBs over WAN

From 4.1 onwards there is Adaptive sub-file backup for Mobile Clients. I don't use it or know much about it but I think it allows you to backup the changed bytes/blocks of a file on a laptop rather than the whole changed file. This may be of some use to you depending on the data they are backing

Re: Why so many Filling tapes?

2003-02-04 Thread John Wright
Depends how many tape drives you have and how many migration is set to use I would have thought. If there are four drives and migration is allowed to use them all it will. Therefore four tapes will be mounted but its unlikely all will be written to fully leaving you with several filling tapes as

Re: Non IBM Libarary for TSM
