We were once told to hold ALL data of ALL our TSM servers. We put _all_ copy pool tapes and DBbackups (2 for each server) in the archive, together with the printed planfiles. Next we had to order that amount of scratch of course... We made a very happy media supplier that year.... I dare not to mention the amount of tapes, but it was a wall full of LTO1. I don't work at that company anymore, but I think it's still stored in the archive as no one dares to get rid of them.
I hope the admins have put some spare LTO1/LTO2/LTO3 drives on the shelve as well, as LTO4 drives cannot read them anymore. And don't mention the reqd software levels, OS's, SAP software etc.. 2010/10/7 Tim Brown <tbr...@cenhud.com> > How have others handled litigation issues where one is told to capture all > folders for specific servers. > > You can copy them all to a read only system. > > You can take a backup of them with a different node name. > > You can export everything which would include active and inactive. > > You cant just pull all tapes since others have files there and it would > cause havoc with relcamation. > > > Any other thoughts, It seems no matter what you do its a lengthy process. > > > > Tim > -- Kind Regards, Groetje, Marcel Anthonijsz T: +31(0)299-776768 M:+31(0)6-2423 6522
