TSM client backup/restore using WEB, using TSM to do AFS backup/restore
Is it possible to do TSM client backup or restore using WEB? We use AFS (Andrew File System) and I am planning to do user data backups using TSM (50,000+ users). I am also looking for a way to allow our users to do restores themselves. If it is not possible to use web for client restores, what other way can users do restores if they don't have to log in to TSM client. We have 8 AFS servers, and currently we do AFS volume backup on TSM, using virtual mount points from one of the clients. TSM server is 5.2.

Getting list of files which will backup without doing inc backup
If I run a backup yesterday and today there are files which were updated or changed and are not backed up yet. Is there a way to compare files from last backup and files currently on the server which are not backup yet? If I understand it correctly, before incremental backup starts TSM server sends list of all Active files to client, then client checks which files need to be backed up and send them to TSM server for backup. Is there a way to get this listing without actually running incremental backup? Thanks for your help.

TSM Server upgrade
I will appreciate if any one can share his/her experience and advice on TSM server upgrade from version 4 to version 5. I am planning to upgrade TSM server from V. 4 R 1 to TSM Server 5.1 on AIX 4.3.3. Last time when I upgraded TSM server from V3 to V4 I did following: exported admin, node, policy, server information's saved volumehistoryfile, deviceconfigfile, dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk files After upgrade I imported admin, node, policy and server. Also copied these saved files back to TSM server directory. For upgrade to Version 5, do I need to do all these steps and are there any other things I should take care of. I will greatly if you can send me detailed information of this upgrade.

Monthly backup
On one of TSM client I am using two management classes/ copy groups. In include_exclude file I have added new management class name in front of the file system's name and the rest of includes use default management class. Default management group has vere, verd, rete and reto parameters set to 35 days, and that one file system has different management with 365 for all of these options so I can keep data for one year. Now I need to change backup for this filesystem to become daily with default management class for 35 days, and do monthly backups to keep for one year. I will appreciate any suggestions.

MS Exchange backup fails
We recently upgraded from WinNT to Win2K SP2, and ADSM/TSM incremental and full backups started failing on those machines. One server which has Win2k from the beginning does not fail and backup works fine. MS Exchange version is 5.5 SP4. and TDP for MS Exchange is version 1.1. I get following errors: ACN3025E -- Backup error encountered.

Copygroup settings for Incremental and full backups
Is it possible to setup one filesystem of a node to keep backup for 365 days and other filesystems' backups of that node to 35 days? currently I have setup copygroup parameters of all domains to 35 (verexists, verdeleted, retextra, retonly) for all incremental and full backups. Now on one ADSM client machine I need to have daily incremental backups and keep it for 35 days, and on one of the filesystems of that node, a full backup after every 30 days and keep that backup for 12 months. I want to keep that full backup of that one filesystem for 12 months, and backups of all other filesystems of that node to 35 versions and days. I defined a separate domain, policy, mgmtclass, copygroup etc. and transferred that node to this new domain. Defined an incremental schedule and a Selective backup for the filesystem for monthly full backup. But now in this setting if I set VEREXISTS, VERDELETED, VEREXTRA, RETONLY of copygroup to 365, it will keep all of the filesystems of that node to 365 days. Is it possible of what I want to do with these backups?

Restore OS of AIX 4.3.3
Recently we lost both mirror disks on one of the RS6000, AIX4.3.3 system. I installed base OS, and TSM client and than restored selected files on the new system. How can I restore complete OS? We have TSM server level 4.1.4. I have done complete restore of an HP system by installing base OS on first disk than installing OS on second disk. Than I rebooted from first disk, mounted second disk and restored OS on second disk, after restore was complete I rebooted from second disk. Will this same procedure work on AIX platform. I am told that on AIX platform after restoring OS on different hdisk system will not boot.

size of individual database/log files for TSM
Hi We are using TSM server Version 4, Release 1, Level 3.0 on AIX 4.3.3 I added another 35 GB disk to the server, and want to increase database and log size for TSM by defining new dbv and logv volumes. Currently all the .dsm files for database and log are 2 GB each. I wanted to know if I should create files larger than 2 GB, is there a size limit to these files? Also having 12 - 15 files of 2 GB each is better or fewer larger size files for database and log.

If tape in SCSI library gets damaged
I recently had to restore a file from one node to another, but the tape for source node had some problems. Restore was very slow and TSM issued messages that it could not read files, so restore did not work. I tried to run audit on that volume/tape, TSM deleted some damaged files but it was very slow. After few hours I canceled audit process and tried to move files to a different tape, but it did not work either. Finally I deleted data on that tape and checkout that tape. TSM still showed filesystems for that node, I deleted filesystems also and did backup again for that node. I wanted to know in this situation what else could I do or how can I prevent such things in future. If tape goes bad than what are my options? We use STK9710 tape library and DLT4 tapes, library has total of 500 tapes and almost half of them are scratch. TSM server is version4, release 1, level 3.0 on AIX.

TSM backup of MS Exchange
I do MS Exchange backup using TSM's TDP for MS Exchange. On TSM admin command line when I issue "query filesp nodename f=d" it gives me following output. Capacity (MB): 0.0 PCT Util: 0.0 Is this correct? Or it is not doing any backup? On all other UNIX and Windows clients these two have numbers related to filesystem size.

Restore MS Exchange data to a different machine
Is it possible to move MS Exchange data from one Exchange server to another? I want to try to restore Exchange data to another server same way it works with other TSM clients, by giving access from source node to target node and than by starting client on target node using -virtualnodename=sourceNodeName. I have checked TSM's Exchange Restore Help, and it has information about moving data to another server if original server is not available and by naming new server same as original and than restoring data to new server. I want to know if it is possible to restore data to a different machine while original one is still up and running.

MS Exchange related question
I have installed TSM module for MS Exchange and Windows client on WinNT machine. When I issue command query node for Exchange node it shows platform as WinNT, same as it shows for WinNT client. Some time ago I installed MS Exchange module on a Win2000 machine and query node command shows me platform as TDP MSExchg NT. Is this the difference because of different windows platforms or did I not install MS Exchange properly on WinNT machines.
