Hi Matt:
TSM does not work like 'legacy" backup systems where a restore requires laying down a
full backup followed by a series of incremental restores. The current status of each
of the backed up files are kept in the database, so if you are doing a large restore
of multiple directories you are going to get the valid current version or the vailid
version for a date.
I'm assuming you are using colocation and you are planning on restoring from the
primary storage group and not the copypool. Collocation will reduce the number of
mount for a large restore.

Why is this so strange? I need the data for many servers for a months worth
of data. I have to be able to restore to any date they (user) says. We
keep the tapes offsite and exercise our DR plan yearly. I will be restoring
whole servers. Not a file here and there. I would think a full backup and
a year of incrementals could get a little ugly.

It's gotta be a tape stress test in progress..... or a validation of the
reclamation process....
I don't know anyone in their right mind who would want to do such a
thing...
...but then again, it could be just to satisfy a paranoid ex-arcserv like
client user!

Check "selective" backups.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to set up a scheduled job that will
do
a Full backup every weekend of a client. I will be running daily
incrementals and will have the POLICY set to keep 4 copies of the backup.
I
just don't see how to get the client to do a full backup after the intial
has been done. What am I missing?
Matt
