This needs to be coordinated between the exchange administrator and the TSM administrator.
You can have multiple Storage Group backups in parallel. It depends on the command file. Incremental or full is dependent on the Exchange administrator expectation. Let say with 2 storage group, you can backup SG 1 full on Monday and incremental the rest of the week and SG 2 full on Tuesday and incremental the rest of the week. Or you can start a full back up on all of the Storage Groups at the same time. The processor utilization of the Exchange server will go very high. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Meunier, Yann Sent: Friday, July 08, 2011 6:56 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Exhange database backup with TDP Hi, Use the RESOURCEUTILIZATION in your dsm.opt for // all backups thread.
