Hi, once I run into same issue in simillar environment but it turned out to by my fault:
I did quite often successfull backup stg primary-disk-storage-pool backup-storage-pool but it occasionaly happened that migration from backup stg primary-disk-storage-pool to primary-tape-pool started before the backup stg has finished. Figuring that out, i scheduled an extra backup stg primary-tape-pool backup-storage-pool and everything went fine. regards Juraj Salak -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Neil Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 25.

When we use BACKUP STGPOOL to copy a primary storage pool to a copy storage pool, I have relied on the fact that a successful completion means I have two copies of all my data. I've just discovered that a number of my files don't have a second copy. For a large number of volumes (more than 10 per server) Q CONTENT xxxxxx COPIED=NO comes back details of the files but BACKUP STGPOOL (with or without PREVIEW=YES) tells me there is no data to be copied. Some of these files were backed up from the client months (years?) ago. Some are active, some are inactive. I discovered this when testing my DR procedures. I updated the status of all my primary storage pool volumes to be DESTROYED and ran a RESTORE STGPOOL PREVIEW=YES. I was shocked at the number of 'ANR1256W Volume XXXXXX contains files that could not be restored' messages that resulted. I've logged a PMR but wondered if anybody else had experienced similar. It kind of blows a big hole in my DR plans. For info, we are running TSM Server 4.2.1.15 on Windows. Thanks Neil Schofield Yorkshire Water Services Ltd.
