Re: Who is still keeping Y2K backups and how long to you intend t o keep them?
At my previous place of employment we did many special backups of Y2K related data. We did not use long retention periods for this data. We figured that if we were going to need the data we would find out soon enough. RULE of THUMB: don't keep backups for the sake of keeping backups. Instead, consider your restore requirements. Your restore requirements should dictate your backups and backup retention. For what it's worth.

It appears to me that there is a large amount of Y2K backup data being stored, not only in the TSM environment but for just about everything. My guess is prior to Y2K, the powers that be set a long retention policy based on the risk of post Y2K litigation. Gifted with hind-sight, the apocalypse never occurred and as far as I am aware litigation has not eventuated therefore the long retention of the backups possibly is not justified. I am interested in opinions and policy on the retention of this data. For the record, I would like to get rid of them now. Peter Griffin
NAS system support: Official stance please...
Anyone willing to stick their neck out or point me to someone who is... What is Tivoli's official party line regarding the backup of NAS boxes? I'm thinking probably, "if it works fine, if it doesn't it isn't our problem." I need for someone to say that if it's true. I understand that many of the products out there are working on native TSM clients to do this work. I also understand that a client of the NAS box should be able to backup shared filespaces and in many cases this probably works just fine (naturally, it isn't working in my case!). Thanks, Kelly J.

Re: Windows 2000 server backups
I have a (closed) PMR with Tivoli (20987) and open APAR IC29545. I get DR. WATSON ERROR: DrWatson Event ID 4097 The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 01/30/2001 @ 14:01:42.140 The exception generated was c005 at address 780128F0 (strncmp) dsmerror log shows: 01/30/2001 14:00:31 NTRestoreRsmDB(): error importing the RSM database files. Win32 RC=4312. I am running W2K SP1 and have tried with 4.1.2.0 and 4.1.2.12 clients (3.7.3 server). If I exclude the RSM from the system object restore then the restore works properly (and since I am not using RSM I assume this isn't a big deal.) In my case I was restoring a Domain Controller - if I restored the System Object in Directory Services restore mode it worked ok, but never worked following the Redbook W2K Recovery steps. (Install new server, same name etc, restore all files, don't reboot, restore entire System Object.) For Domain Controllers, if you have the Active Directory Log and Database on different drives then the 4.1.2.0 client does not work for restore but the 4.1.2.12 client does. I may have another problem, still trying to verify, when a backup is done with the administrator logged in (and hence the ntuser.dat is not backed up). In this case I have not been successful in doing bare metal restore. Still working on this one. Besides the above, I have sucessfully done Bare Metal restores of W2K Domain controllers many times (15+).

How Much of c:\ADSM.SYS should be backed up?
Hi all, I am cleaning up my include/excludes on our future desktop backup plan. I do not know how much or all/none of the c:\adsm.sys directory should be backup in the NT environment. My first thought would be to just back it up. However, we have many laptops that will be backed up over dial-up connects. So I would like to thin things down to the minimum. So what really needs to be backed up and what can be excluded? Matt
Re: Residency Announcement: ST-1200 Using IBM LTO Tape with Open Systems
Hi TSM'ers - I will be running a project in ITSO to make a redbook on IBM LTO tape with UNIX systems. It will include LTO with native operating system utilities as well as backup products like TSM and others - anyone with interest and skill in this area is welcome to apply to spend 5 weeks in sunny California. Also, newly published is the redbook SG24-6146 Using Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL Server. You will also now find two other redpieces I previously posted about - "Backing Up DB2 using TSM", SG24-6247, and "Backing Up Oracle using Tivoli Storage Management", SG24-6249 - also available on the www.redbooks.ibm.com website. Apologies, but those two were inadvertently omitted from the external site up till now. I hope the audience finds these resources useful.

It is also planned to use tape subsystems in other locations as time permits. This San Jose residency begins 06 Aug 2001, ends 07 Sep 2001 (5 weeks), and requires 3 residents. Please submit nominations by 29 Jun 2001. Description: This project will produce a new IBM Redbook that will cover the implementation details of attaching IBM Ultrium tape subsystems to servers running AIX, Solaris and HP-UX. It will describe how the attachment support is provided, what connection methods are supported and will illustrate the text with practical examples. There will be a companion residency for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Linux in project ST-1201 which is planned for later in 2001. Objectives: Topics to be covered include: 1. Attachment methods (SCSI LVD, HVD; SAN, and FC-AL) and when to choose each of these 2. Software fundamentals (device drivers, addressing, UNIX tools) 3. Specific examples for AIX 4. Specific examples for Solaris 5. Specific examples for HP-UX 6. TSM examples 7. ArcServe examples for LTO 8. Veritas NetBackup examples for LTO This residency is suitable for Customers, Business Partners, and IBMers. A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly express concepts and procedures in common English. Resident Prerequisites: The successful resident need not have all the skills requested. However, he or she should have strong skills in at least one of the main areas and a desire to learn new skills. Skill levels below are from 5 to 1, where 5 = expert skill and 1 = no skill. You personally do not have to have all of these skills to be considered a good candidate for this residency. The project leader will match your skills with that of the other nominations to put together the best team possible. Skills Needed: |--+-| |Skill Area|Skill| | |Level| |--+-| |English (written and verbal) | 4 | |--+-| |Tape attachment to AIX| 4 | |--+-| |Tape attachment to Solaris| 4 | |--+-| |Tape attachment to HP-UX | 4 | |--+-| |Tivoli Storage Manager| 3 | |--+-| |Veritas NetBackup | 3 | |--+-| |CA ArcServe | 3 | |--+-| Documentation Skills Needed: |--+-| |Documentation Skill Area |Skill| | |Level| |--+-| |Freelance | 3 | |--+-| |FrameMaker| 2 | |--+-| These documentation skills are desirable, but not critical, for acceptance into this residency. The only definite requirement is a readiness to learn and to handle your own data entry needs. Nominees must have the approval of their managers before submitting a nomination. IBM Redbooks sends e-mail acknowledgements of all nominations. Nominations must be complete and detailed.

What you need to do is edit your devconfig.lst file (if you make several copies in different locations, make sure you edit the one in the TSM server "bin" directory), and look for a line like this: /* LIBRARYINVENTORY SCSI ATL DBR189 272 101*/ But, yours should have your library name and the serial number of your DB Backup tape. Update the number following the volser (272 in my example) to be the element number of the slot in your library where the tape is loaded. This should allow your restore command to find the tape. You can get the element number from your library docs. If in doubt, try to figure out which slot corresponds to the lowest element and load the tape there. I know this all sounds pretty "hokey", but its actually documented in the Admin Guide in the section about recovering the server with DRM, I think. And, I can testify that it works.

Re: Not backing up drive
Along with the permission issues discussed already, if you're on an older client (3.1) there was a bug where if the drive didn't have a label, it was skipped. The later 3.1 clients (3.1.0.5, I think) had this fixed. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Not backing up drive
>I have an NT client that is not backup up the D drive. >From my notes at http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts : D: drive not backed up This normally is a permissions problem. Check the scheduler service via control panel / services. See what account the service logs in as. If it is the SYSTEM account, make sure that the drive has permissions for the SYSTEM account. A lot of NT Administrators remove EVERYONE from the permissions, which also prevents the SYSTEM account from being able to do backups. Another reason could be that disks involved are part of the Microsoft clustering environment. Have you included CLUSTERnode Yes in the cluster.opt file for each logical node on the cluster?
