>Does anyone know if TSM 3.7+ can backup the open WINs and DHCP databases. Backing up active databases using simple incremental backup, from outside the database, is problematic because part of the database is on disk and part is in memory, and perhaps elsewhere. As a general rule, it's advisable to back up databases using an API-based utility which participates in the database environment to back it up from the inside, and thus get a consistent and restorable image. TSM provides Data Protection agents for some databases, but for others you'll have to seek another source. Richard Sims, BU
