I am trying to backup a LARGE SQL (4TB) database via the SQL TDP, without success.
It will run for a while and then die - usually with the error: ANS1017E (RC-50): Session Rejected : TCP/IP communications failure. The last try backed up 125GB before failing. I have greatly increased the server communication timeout (6000 seconds) guessing it is a timeout issue. I know very little about the SQL TDP (v5.5.5.0 - base TSM client is 6.1.3.2 - yes I know it needs updating) and config options. Is there a way to breakup the backup into chunks, like you can do with Oracle backups? Suggestions?
