It's highly overrated with TSM, since TSM doesn't do absolute (full) backups unless such are forced. If you want maximum bang for your buck with dedupe, you need to run an app like IBM CommonStore for Email that will enable SIS (single-instance store) on your email server's data. When a CEO sends a 4MB attachment to 100 different email addresses, it makes mail administrators cry. -- Mark Stapleton Berbee (a CDW company) System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com
