I have file systems with 1.5TB and 9 million files. They do take a while to backup. We can save a 1 TB SAP database in about 2.5 hours. So, I think we need some more information.
What kind of tape? What kind of disk? TSM server on AIX? What kind of Network interface? What does your dsmserv.sys and opt and dsm.sys and dsm.opt look like? -----Original Message----- From: Schaub Joachim Paul ABX-PROD-ZH [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: Backing up a large file system for a TSM newbie try with the adaptive sub-file differencing incl. in the 4.2 Client If you have enough capacity in the network components the ressourceutil param in the dsm.opt or dsm.sys may also help regards joachim -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Peter McMahon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.

We have several AIX boxes which have 'large' file systems...by large I mean > 30Gig which contain multiple installs of Oracle sever s/w ....so > thousands of files/directories. (NB Not the database files them selves) A selective backup of these is taking a 'significant' amount of time - approx 4 hr to do a filesystem of about 35G...I have tried going directly to tape - think it was even slower.... so what I am looking for is some advice on the best settings for these types of file systems TIA Peter ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
