-Use compression -Use sub-file backup. (doesn't work on files larger than 2GB; otherwise enormous improvements)
-Encryption doesn't hurt if you are moving the data over public network (Internet)- will be improved in TSM 5.3 -Don't backup system object every day (around 200MB-300MB). Make additional schedule for system object and C drive (maybe on weekends) -Choose carefully what you need to backup (include/exclude) Regards, Joe C. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael, Monte Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 3:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Remote Backups.... Fellow TSM administrators: My company is currently looking at backing up approximately 40 NT servers at our remote locations, back to our local data center. Each location has around 10gb - 40gb of storage, and very minimal daily change activity on the files. Some of the locations are 256k data lines, and some are t1 lines. Does anyone have a list of best practices? What are some of the options that you have found to improve the process of remote backups via TSM to a central location. Any help and input that you can provide is much appreciated. > Thank You, > > Monte Michael This communication is for use by the intended recipient and contains information that may be privileged, confidential or copyrighted under applicable law.
