Hi All, I have a client that needs monthly backupsets for his BA clients and exports for his TDP clients. The device for this is a stand alone LTO2 drive that is separate from the main tape library (I'm eliding the detail here, trust me, there are valid reasons why he want it done this way). Accordingly I'd like to try to stack multiple backupsets/exports onto a single tape.
Now, there used to be an idea that you could do this with server_to_server communications that used the loopback interface on so that the source and the destination servers are the same actual TSM instance. There was also some information that this didn't work particularly well at TSM 5.1 or 2. Has anyone gotten this scheme to work at TSM for Windows 5.3? OS is Windows 2003, but that _shouldn't_ make any difference. Regards Steve Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Brisbane Australia
