Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

The way I do it is create a script with rwx-- attributes. This way only
root and myself can execute it or read it. This is the Windows example:

pushd \"program files"\tivoli\tsm\baclient\

I would recommend "Getting Started with Tivoli Storage Manager:
Implementation Guide". This an IBM Redbook, id# SG24-5416-01, I believe. I
still use this frequently for reference on a variety of levels. Good luck.

How well does TSM handle UNC's in include/excludes? Which are preferred or

Hello,
The BUFFPOOLSIZE can only be 1/2 the real memory you are using. If you

Is anyone doing db backups to disk using devclass type FILE?
I know, it's not necessarily a good thing, but right now we have a db that

Before I set this up, I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this.

I hate it personally, because I do know what I am doing, why, and where, but
it does force the default data directories for the great unwashed to be on
the data server. It takes a conscious (and annoying) effort to save
something on your local drive.

No, you don't need to shutdown TSM to change this.

if you can afford little bit more time I would recommend you to test it
first to ensure it will run smoothly:

2. Restore your TSM DB to this "new" box. Just the DB, there is no need to
