Newbie Question
Hi , I've inherited a TSM setup recently and it's been ticking over fine but now I need to make some changes, and thought I'd ask the experts for some help :-) . It's TSM 5.2 and a W2K/3 environment. One server we're backing up is a sharepoint cluster, with different cluster drives active on each node. Currenlty we backup the local drives on each node, and also a SQL agent backup. The DBA's also backup SQL to a cluster drive. They now want this drive backed up as well . How do I do this? Bear in mind, all I've done with TSM so far is checked that the existing backups worked, so in simple terms please!! :-) TIA This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Newbie Question cluster backups
Hi, Have a question about setting a backup. I've inherited a Tivoli backup solution and am very slowly getting to grips with it ( have a NetBackup background) and now need help in setting up a new backup. We've a sql cluster wdccdb01 which has been set up backup the local drives via each side of the cluster separately (wdccsq01/02) - The clustered disk resource hold the SQL database and that backs up the SQL agent, so there's a dsm.opt file in TSM/baclient locally for each node and a dsm.opt file in TSM/TDPsql locally on each client. Now we've just put on another drive to the cluster( non SQL) - First time for me to set up a new backup - What's the best way to set this backup up Cheers Gary This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Library Barcodes
Hi, Thanks for the help for a new user so far from you guys, been very useful . Have another for you. We're currently backing up to a TS3310(3576) Library - SAN attached with 2 LTO-3 drives. We had a problem with the touch panel screen on the front - it went dead. IBM engineer reckoned it was a firmware issue, and had us reset the library config, and update to the latest firmware. This cured the panel problem but gave us another. The library is now reporting back to TSM 6 char barcodes not 8 - so we're getting mismatches as the original tapes has internal headers to match the barcodes e.g. IA0010L3 but know TSM sees them as IA0010 until it reads the header. Anyone come across this before?? Is there any config changes I cam make ? ( if this was NetBackup I'd know where lol ) TSM 5.3.3 and W2K3 TIA Gary This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Newbie questions - File locations
Hi, New to TSM ( but learning - picking up bits slowly from this list :-) ) , looking after a W2K3 system that was set up by someone else. Trying to collate some data that's hasn't been documented anywhere, and was hoping you guys could help. 1) Where are the server scripts kept? 2) Drives being backed up and include/excludes have not been documented - I know you can check through the GUI on each client but where are these selections kept? Are they in easily accessible files? TIA Gary This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

DRP file email help
Hi, Slightly off topic - I've just taken over a TSM 5.3 W2K3 system and am very slowly getting to grips with it and as part of it I want to copy off the DR files everyday. The only way to do this is via Email. I'm using blat to several emails with attachments every morning. Eg :- blat test.txt -subject test -server x -r -log send.txt -to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -attach c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server1\devcnfg.out This is fine with the static named files like devcnfg.out but how do I select the latest DRP file as an attachment. I'm think of somehow using the date to get the start of the file then copying to a static file and sending that but vbscript etc is not my strongest point!! Anyone doing this already or have any idea? TIA Gary This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Retention Query
Hi, Am a complete newbie when it comes to TSM and have just been handed a W2K3 system to look after with TSM 5.3. The system hasn't gone live yet and I'm trying to work out how many tapes I'm going to need for offsiting. We have four pools for onsite with the following setup Vers Data exits28 Retain extra(days) 31 Vers Deleted2 Retain Vers (days) 60 Do the copypools have the same characteristics? If I'm sending four tapes off a day how may tapes do I need for an offsite cycle ?? It's just that the company that set things up have said that 30 LTO-3s should be enough for onsite and offsite and I can't see how. TIA Gary (confused!)

[no subject]
Hi, One of our clients has is in the process of putting in a system that includes TSM 5.3 running on W2K3. Before this my background has been predominantly Netbackup/backup exec. Can you guys recommend reading material / FAQs for a newbie to get up and running asap. Trying to get to grips with retentions and thing, for example how do I work out when offsite tapes will expire, the consultancy firm have recommended an initial 30 LTO-3 tapes, but the copypools send 3 (1 per pool) off a day, so how do I work out how many tapes I'll be using?
