Hi, Have installed TSM for MS SQL (vand i am now testing backup/recovery. I have a test SQL server i can play with and this has 10 databases, i exclude 9 and only backup 1 at the moment, for testing. In the DSM.OPT, i have INCLUDE \...\database-name\...\* to backup just one of the ten databases EXCLUDE \...\* so that i can exclude the other nine databases
I understood from the docs that if I backup a SQL database using FULL, then a DIFFFULL backup (which i ran 5 minutes later) would only backup changes since the last full backup. Having ran a FULL backup, it dumped approx. 270mb of data from a single database. When i ran the DIFFFULL backup, it dumped 57mb. The problem here is that this is a test NT server, and no-one is accessing (therefore updating) data, so why did the DIFFFULL dump 57mb when nothing has changed? I read about a DIFFFULL % in the .cfg file, and that it defaulted to 20%. I changed this to 10% but it made no difference. My client server is NT, with SQL v7.0, TSM SQL client level 2.2.1 Anyone any ideas?
