bad performance when restoring single files from a backupset
Hello, I performed a backupset from one of our servers (Windows NT). The backupset was generated on a HP Ultrium LTO drive, which is conected to the TSM Server (also Windows NT TSM Version 4.2.2.0) via SCSI. The generation process of the backupset ran 2,5 hours. Now I tried to read the contents of the backupset (q backupsetcontents). The read process takes more than one day!! When I think of restoring a single file from this backupset, I get crazy! Can anybody help me or has an explanation of such a difference between backing up and restoring?

ANR9999D TSM Server 4.2.2.2 and Client 5.1.5.15
Hello TSMers, I've got a problem with an updated client. We updated the Windows NT client from version 3.1 to version 5.1.5.15. Our TSM server is running under Z/OS and TSM Version 4.2.2.2. I tested backup and restore behavior and everything looks fine. The services started without a problem and the client got his backuptime from the server (we use prompted mode). Now I am getting this terrible error message on the TSM server: 28.11.2003 13:46:00 ANRD SMEXEC(1627): ThreadId139004 Session 78272 with client C010191B (WinNT) rejected - server does not support the UNICODE mode that the client was requesting. When I check the clienterrorlogs, there seems to be everything alright. No errors! Can anybody help?

backupsetcontents
Hello, we use TSM Server 4.2.2.0 on Windows NT. We created a backupset on LTO Volume. When we try to query the contents of this backupset (q backupsetcontents) the operation takes up to 24 hours. Is this normal for a query? We know that the information is read from the tape, but such a long time for it? Who can help or give me some inputs?

Antwort: Admin schedules
Hallo, for my opinion, it seems to be a normal migration process caused by the migrationthreshold which is defined in your diskpool. Automatic migration is started by TSM, when the threshold HighMig is reached.

Re: archiving questions
Hello Michelle, if you did the tasks, Andrew expected in the mail before, you can perform an archive operation with the option archmc=your_archive_managementclass. For example you can use the following command to archive files in your diectory d:\archive: archive archmc=archclass d:\archive\* If you use the option -deletefiles, files archived will be deleted on the client! I think, it's very comfortable to use. Also see your document how to use your Backup/Archive Client. There you can get more information about special options.

Therefore you will need to: 1) Create a new management class in the desired domain/policy set. (See DEFINE MGMTCLASS in the Administrator's Reference.) 2) Create an archive copygroup in the new management class with the desired retention. (See DEFINE COPYGROUP in the Administrator's Reference.) 3) Activate the policy set. (See ACTIVATE POLICYSET in the Administrator's Reference.) If you are not the TSM server administrator, then you will need to have that person perform these tasks. Once the new management class is available, you can run the archive and bind the files to that new management class.

Antwort: Excluding files in Windows NT
Hello, you can exclude these files without any problems. TSM handles these files (not ntuser.dat) as system objects and backs them up another way. Because these files are allways opened by another process (OS), TSM is not able to back them up in the normal way. If you do a backup of Partition C, than you can see, that TSM makes a directory named adsm.sys. Within this directory there are copies of the NT system objects (Registry and Log), which allows TSM, to back these copies up. Hope this helps, MfG/regards Sascha Bräuning Sparkassen Informatik, Fellbach OrgEinheit: 6322 Wilhelm-Pfitzer Str. 1 70736 Fellbach Telefon: (0711) 5722-2144 Telefax: (0711) 5722-1634 Mailadr.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Antwort: 3590 compression vs tsm compression
Hello Rob! Your Options in the device class: Set your Estimated Capacity under the maximum value of your tapes. TSM uses this value only for calculating tha capacity of your storagepool and so on ... Set your maximum capacity to 0. TSM writes until the tape is full! So TSM can detect the maximum value itself! Set compression to yes. Than TSM activates the IDRC compression of your 3590 drive. This should work then!

space reclamation when using server-to-server communication
