I have been testing image backups with TSM, a feature that we never
took advantage of. I can see how it can be benefical especially for
recovery. It takes to long to recover whenever I have had to. We also
should look at collocation.
Some questions about image backups
1. Should it be image for all nodes or just a subset of "Critical" nodes.
2. How often does one image backup a node (weekly, monthly ...)
3. Does one image all drives (OS only, Apps Only, Both)
3. How much additional space is required on node drives to support imaging.
Is there a ballpark figure based on drive utilization
4. Any other issues/factors would be appreciated.
