Re: Month End Strategies (TDP for Exchange)
I looked into this a while ago but I never got as far as answering this question: With the way that Exchange implements its backups, if you did a full backup to a different storage pool w/ different name. Would you have to follow that backup with a full to your normal backup pool so that the logs would back up to the correct pool and be useable? -Greg -Original Message- From: Ochs, Duane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Month End Strategies (TDP for Exchange) I use a second server name for long term retention and some logic in the CMD file to chose which day to run it.

Re: TDP backups for Domino Partitions
I know that multiple partitions on a Windows system requires that you pass a config file to tdp at the backup command. Such as: start /B domdsmc selective * /loggedonly /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=h:\tsm\dsm.opt /logfile=h:\tsm\domssch.log /configfile=h:\tsm\domino.cfg >> h:\tsm\domsel.log With the config file looking something like: LastPruneDate 03/11/2004 14:20:54 NOTESInipath h:\Gd2 LOGFile h:\TSM\domino\domdsm.log LOGPRUne 60 BUFFers 8 BUFFERSIze 2048 REPlace No SUBDir Yes MOUNTWait Yes It is the config file that points TDP to the notes.ini -Original Message- From: Eduardo Esteban [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 10:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TDP backups for Domino Partitions Yes, there is only one dsm.sys file, but you can have multiple TSM server definitions/stanzas in it.

If I do a move nodedata on for a node from one pool to another is the copy information from the old pool deleted also or does it remain out there forever?

Re: is there a way to.....
You could do a command line restore and specify -dirsonly and restore just the directory structure over the top. Then push down the permissions on the files. Works great if your permissions are assigned at a top level and all subdirectories inhert and you are using DRMC. It gets tedious if there are lots of sub directories with differing permissions. -Original Message- From: i love tsm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 5:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: is there a way to. Hi All I want to know whether there is a way to restore "only" ntfs file permissions on win2k. We are running tsm server 5.2.2.1 and 5.2 clients. The reason for this is that last night during some maintenance, a windows drive (all directories and files) lost all its permissions. The directories and files are still there so all I want to restore is the permissions... Anyone know of a way to do this with TSM??

Offhand, I can only think of one way to do what you have in mind with TSM server scripts: start all the backups, let them queue up waiting for tape drives, and poll periodically to see if any backups are still running. A script could check that by running a 'select' command to select storage pool backups from the processes table. A select that does not find any matching table entries will end with a return code of 11. That being said, I would be inclined to use scripting facilities outside of TSM to manage multiple streams of storage pool backups. I currently do this sort of thing for an OS/390 server using the Rexx language and the Unix-like facilities provided by the USS component of OS/390. If our server ran under Unix I could have done the same thing using Perl. My script starts two background processes and then goes into a loop in which each iteration waits for a background process to end and starts another process.
Stgpool backup script
Currently my backup script is sequential. I have been wondering if there is a way to use all my available drives but I don't want to go the way of using maxpr=2 because some of my backups are very large files like 60+ GB in size, I could be doing other things while that goes on. I would like to run two different backup stgpools and check every so often, if there is only one process running start another backup stgpool. When all my storage ppols are backed up, kick off the dbbackup I think I can handle most of the script through ifs and gotos but my problem is determining how many processes are currently running. The SQL return codes don't seem to give me the results of a statement, unless I am reading the return codes wrong. So far what I have in mind (not exact syntax), and I have 4 drives so I want to run 2 concurrent backups If [processes] = 2 goto reschedule If [processes] = 1 goto startanotherbackup If [processes] = 0 and allbackupscomplete goto dbbackup, volhist, devconfig I think that I would control what backups I have already done through passing of script parameters. Am I off my rocker, or is something like this possible? Greg Redell Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Co. Phone: 314-543-7009 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Exchange backup performance
Hello all, I am trying to see if anyone has any quick suggestions on backing up Exchange 2000. I am seeing some horrible performance as you can see from the below stats. This server has never had speedy TDP backups, BAclient backups normally are in the 10MB/sec range. The connection is a gigabit connection, from the tcp transfer tests I have done with WSTTCP I should be able to hit 18MB/sec. My Domino servers with 350Gb of data on the same network hit upwards of 14MB/sec. One thing that I am noticing is that store.exe is consuming 90% of the cpu. These stats are from a full backup taken when no-one else was using the TSM server or the exchange server. 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Total storage groups requested for backup: 1 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Total storage groups backed up: 1 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Total storage groups expired: 8 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Total storage groups excluded: 0 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Throughput rate:2,956.63 Kb/Sec 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Total bytes transferred: 55,004,847,682 12/15/2003 14:23:34 Elapsed processing time: 18,167.84 Secs Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: TDP Domino GUI Shortcut for Partitions
Make sure you edit the shortcut so it goes something like this C:\TSM\domino\domdsm.exe /adsmoptfile=e:\tsm\domino\dsm.opt /configfile=e:\tsm\domino\domino.cfg Look into your TDP for domino directory for domdsmc run this command line with domdsmc help set. This will help you create the config file. With out the config file tdp will try to back up all the partitions on the server. You will also need to edit the batch files that run your selective, incremental, archive and inactivate to include the configfile option. If you are running the domino partitions on a MS cluster then all these files need to stay on a drive that stays with the domino service -Greg -Original Message- From: LeBlanc, Patricia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 5:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TDP Domino GUI Shortcut for Partitions Okay I've got the TDP for domino installed on a w2k machine.

What schedmode are you using? Is your scheduler service defined in cluster administrator? What if you do a failover without doing the patches part, does the same thing happen?
