You have to define FILE class and set maxcap less than CD size. The data will be split in several TSM volumes (files) and each volume will go on separate CD. Have in mind that volume label of the CD must match the filename (TSM volume label). Look at TSM Administrator's Reference (v5.1 for AIX, GC32-0769-00, p.174): "The label on the media must meet the following restrictions: - No more than 11 characters - Same name for file name and volume label " This might not be problem for local backupset restores but is mandatory for server backupsets over devclass with type REMOVABLEFILE. DirectCD creates random CD volume label beginning with creation date. This label will not match TSM volume label.

The size of the Backup set files generated will be more what a single CD can hold. Do we have to generate files which a CD can hold. Is there a CD Burning Software available which can write to multiple CD's for a single file image. TIA regards murthy .... I am sure this question has come across before, I just can't seem to find the answer. I would like to generate a set of CDs as a backupset for a client. How do I go about this? Current environment is TSM 4.2.3.1 on Win2K. TIA ... Jack
