NT schedule is pending
I'm trying to add an NT client for the first time. I have downloaded the client packages and installed the client, then changes the dsm.opt files and started the services on NT. The client is working file, which means if I go to client and start backup from GUI of from command line it's working OK. But the automatic schedule is not working, it means I have created policy and schedule and assign it to that client, the schedule stays in pending mode and it does not execute till it failes.

Password issues
When I login if I use any administrator user it logs in without any password or even if I enter any password it gets in Now I want to go live, and I need to fix this. If I set the password authentication to Yes, the clients are having problem running the backup schedule and it's giving error.

Add date to Archive description
Hi all, How do I add DATE in Archive description. I want my archive to hold brief description of which archive is and to display the archived date and time. i.e. if you go to retrieve you see "POTLINE System on May 13 2001, Time: 17:00:00" This is possible if I hard code it, i.e.. -DES='POTLINE System on May 13 2001, Time: 17:00:00' But I want to automate the date and time so everyday the date and time portion of it to be taken from server or client. Thanks, Salam

ADSM Archive issues
We have two magstar attached to ADSM server. I want to keep one drive for daily backup and the other drive for daily archive. So we have two sequential storage pool which are 3570BKPOOL and ArchiveTapePool. 3570BKPOOL is the first Magstar 3570C device with has 2 drive and is used for primary pool. Magstar 3570C is assigned to ArchiveTapePool which is 2nd Magstar 3570C, which we need to use it for Daily archive. I want to archive certain client's data everyday and move the tapes off-site, then insert new tapes for the next day. Is this possible? Can I insert new tapes in the same slot? The new tape can have same Label or should have different? If possible how are going to label the new tapes, different names. Note: daily archive is planned to be kept for 28 days before we can recycle it again. If new label should be given, how do we retrieve it for particular day, is it only by "Descriptions"? What other suggestion you can give me? For example I have a Archive Pool which is linked to Sequential Pool of 5 tapes, [Tape1BTape5B], say the first day the archive command of several clients has field all 5 of them, Now we need to move them out and replace them with 5 other new tapes.

3570 - tape library
Hi, Currently we have ADSM which is using magstar 3570C as backup device. This device has two derives rmt3.smc and rmt4.smc. Both of those drives are assigned to 3570CLIB automated library. We have another 3570B magstar with another two drives [rmt1.smc, rmt2.smc] which are assigned to 3570LIB, and not in use. Now we are planing to assign the rmt1 and rmt2 to 3570CLIB and get rid of the other library [3570LIB], and have them all under one library. What are the steps I should take?

Archive - Tape label
I want to do archive of certain filesystems on daily basis, I have created an archive storage pool with next storage as sequential pool (3570). I have assigned 4 permanent tapes to this storage pool. So all the archive can go to those 4 tapes, i.e. TAPE16, TAPE17, TAPE18, TAPE19. I want to checkout these tapes on daily basis and keep it offsite, while load 4 new tapes in the same slot and label it same, TAPE16, TAPE17, TAPE18, TAPE19. Is it possible? How? If not what will be the alternate solution? Thanks, Salam

What is Backup set? I heard that form someone else too. I'm using ADSM Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.40, dose this version supports Backupset? Because I could not find any help on Backupset within this version. Thanks for your help, Salam Salam R. Abdulla Project Leader Dubai Aluminum Company P. O.

Re: Archiving Primary pool
On one of our implementations we have a storage pool which is getting refreshed everyday, full backup. and we need to archive each day of that primary pool and save it for 30 days. The copy pool will be having same retention as primary, right? I'm not sure, is there a way to assign different MC to the copy pool?

Archiving Primary pool
Is it possible to do archive on server level and not client level? I want to archive the whole primary pool. Thanks, Salam

looking for a right solution
We have ADSM Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.40 using Magstar 3570 with two drives [total 19 carriages] Currently we have 60 GB of incremental data, to backup daily. Because of not having enough space on 3570 we have limited the backup to 7 version only. Management is asking to automate the whole company's backup process, and asking me to come up with a right solution. Now we will be talking of backing up almost 150 GB of daily incremental, with 30 version. Also we need to assign some libraries for archiving. Does anybody have almost similar site? Which tape drive should I recommend? Do I need to upgrade ADSM? Any other issues to consider? If you are aware of any study cases on Internet of a similar case, please recommend it.

Re: Backup Policy
Thanks Steve for help, the problem which I'm facing is that the management wants 28 copies of the file to be available don't care it whether its on primary pool or archive. I can't keep them on primary pool because of not having enough space on tapes. I was thinking to have for 7 days, and end of 7 days to archive them all and clear the primary pool again, and let it go for the next 7 days using archiving. The issue is that I should have 28 version of data, since these files are changing everyday. Is it possible? Thanks, Salam Salam R. Abdulla Project Leader Dubai Aluminum Company P. O.

Backup Policy
I think I did ask this question once back, but didn't receive any feedback, please let me know if you can help. I want to write a backup policy to backup my filesystems for 7 versions. On the 7th day I want that copy to be moved to the save box with retention of 28 days. The 8th day will over write the first day, and so on. But again by the end of the forth week on 28th day, I want this copy to be kept in save for one year. Also I need to keep one copy of any deleted file for the period. How can I do that?

Re: Big file is failing on HP-UX
It is running as root. I don't think the permissions was causing this problem. Because next day I run the schedule only for that file and it did go through. It was giving [ANS1311E Server out of data storage space] message even though I had tons of scratch tapes. What could be the problem, I noticed this happen quite regularly.

Policy talk
Hi All, It might sound simple for some, but I'm having doubt. To my understanding the whole policy and management classes are controlled by these 5 options under Policy Domains and backup Copy Groups - Backup Retention (Grace Period) - Versions Data Exists - Versions Data Deleted - Retain Extra Versions - Retain Only Version Ok, I have some filesystem which I want to backup them for one month with 30 version, (these files are changing everyday)at the end of the month I want to move the latest copy to a copy pool and keep it off-site for a year. What will be the value of the above options? Any other concern? Appreciate your help, Salam
