Hi all Right, I know I have been here before but we are still having some baaad problems with our Mac OSX 5.2.3.12 clients.
I'm currently still only running TSM Server 5.1.6.2 on Solaris until the hardware arrives for the upgrade (v soon), but as far as I am concerned, there should be no problem running 5.2 clients on a 5.1 server. In fact, as far as I know the TSM structure is designed to accommodate this. Now, at the moment, the file systems on the two Mac servers are NOT unicode enabled as this will mean full backups for both servers (which will take some time). I would rather get the server upgrade out of the way before doing this if it's even necessary. So, the problems I am seeing are whole groups of directories not being backed up! Since the upgrade to 5.2.3.12 I have been allowing the client to backup via the scheduler demon (which I could never get to work properly before). But I can see that where the client used to check some 300,000 files, it now only check 70,000 approx! I have never seen such problems with any other clients flavours and I really don't know where to start looking. Are there other people out there running Mac clients that are getting complete successful backups and if so is there something I'm doing wrong. Sadly I'm not a Mac admin so there may be something OS based that is wrong. Any help would be much appreciated as people are not very happy (and who can blame them).
