Re: Restoring to different node using administrative TSM-ID
Couple options include the following: 1. You can actually map a network drive on the original node to the new node you want to restore to. Then during the restore, you can pick a location and select the mapped drive. 2. You can go to the new node you want to restore to, and in the dsm.opt file you can change the node name to that of the old one, this way, when the GUI starts up, it will think that it is the original node. Mind you, you will still need to pick a different location to restore to unless you have the drives partitioned off exactly the same.

So, it will be interesting what the answer is. -Original Message- From: Jens Fornfeist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 7:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring to different node using administrative TSM-ID Hi, i need to restore files to a different tsm-node ,than the data has been backed up with. Using the gui, there is the option logon, where I can specify the concerned source-tsm-node and my administrative TSM-ID, for authenticating with/to the tsm-server. I have to use my ID because of the passwordaccess generate-setting in the client-options-file, so I do not know the passwords of the client-nodes. Using this way, everything works fine. The question is: How can I initiate this login-process using the command-line I would like to simplify this process for backup-operators, so that it is only necessary to enter the administrative TSM-ID and password. The node-name should have been set using a dsm.exe - paramater. i.e.: dsm -loginid=userid -virtualnodename=sourcemachine Is there an undocumented feature that solves my problem? (or is it documented and I haven't found it?) Thanks in advance! Jens Fornfeist IDG mbH, Cologne, Germany Abt. CS3 phone: +49 221/308-2529
Having a little trouble with a simple SQL Query - Please help!
Hi guys, I have typed this query, which works fine, but I need to be able to do more. First off here is the select command : select distinct entity as Node, activity as Activity, start_time as Start, end_time as End, affected as Files_Backed_up, bytes as Total_Bytes fro m summary where activity = 'BACKUP' What I would like to do is also group this by the entity so that I basically only receive one instance of the node. Plus I would like to be able to select only the information that pertains to current day - 1 (yesterday). If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. I have tried to add the group by entity after the where statement but it tells me that I cannot have the activity, start_time, end_time, affected and bytes columns in the query unless I place them within an aggregate function.

Re: Disappearing Tapes
Are you also sending out your database backup tapes? If so, do you have a schedule in place that regularly deletes old database volumes? If you do, this would explain your situation. If you send a database volume offsite, it will not show up in a query volume or query libvolume command. The only way to see them is to query the volhistory. If you have a scheduled clean up of the database volumes , they will be automatically deleted from the volhistory (The only way to delete a DB volume). This will result in tapes being kept at the off site vault with no records left to identify them. I hope this helps.

When we query these tapes in the system there is 'No match found'. We have very good checks and balances with the vendor...all tapes are verified coming in and going out so it appears as if the tapes have just disappeared from TSM. Any ideas?

Re: How would I archive given the following setup?
I have thought of this but just wondering if it will stop execution if a file space does not exist. for example : c:\* d:\* e:\*f:\* and on one server there is no e:\* or f:\* would that cause any problems? The other idea I have had is to create backup sets every month for each server. I think the backup sets might be easier to maintain. Would you agree?

How would I archive given the following setup?
Hi everyone, I'm a little confused with the scheduling of archiving. I have one primary pool and one copy pool. Currently the copy pool is being sent offsite. Our issue is that our policy is to keep 5 versions of all active files and this is not good enough for the users. They would like an archive to be performed for all of our servers (30+) on a monthly basis and would like these archives to be retained for 1 year each. Basically if I do an archive for August this year, that archive will be retained until August of next year. I am a little confused as to how I am to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.
