Hi, I have a customer with a HP-UX TSM server running server code 4.1.3. They have a client with both raw logical volumes and mounted filesystems which is currently backing up fine using incrementals and backup images. What they need to do is on a monthly basis take a snapshot of the entire box which needs to be kept near line for 7 years. Because they have raw volumes they cannot just use backupsets, because as far as I am aware backupsets will not work with raw volumes. What is the best strategy to implement to ensure they have a copy of all the active files on the client, both mounted and raw data which they can keep for 7 years?
