Re: Multiple Sessions for Netware backups
Have you tried using the resourceutilization parameter in the opt file? This will allow a single backup to use multiple sessions during a backup. We are using it to backup large (not 500gb large)groupwise post offices and it works well. Cory Heikel Sr. System Engineer Milton S.

I will be backing up approx 500 Gig once a week. Why 500 gig? Our lotus notes storage is out of control. As a fix (yea right) the notes admins are going to make everyone do local archives of their mail to their share drive. Yes.. there moving the problem from one platform to another. Brilliant minds. Regardless.. I have to back this server up once a week.. I want to create multiple backup scheduled sessions each with separate option files. For example: optfile 1 : incl [a-p].nsf excl *.nsf and optfile2 : incl [q-z].nsf excl *.nsf.. This way I can hopefully make my backup window.. I will probably set up 6 schedules. So my question is how can I use the TSM Server scheduler to start multiple scheduled operations each looking at different option files ( or different inclexcludes). I may even spread the backup across 2 TSM servers. Any feedback would be much appreciated.. Thanks, Denis L'Huiller 973-360-7739
Re: Multiple Sessions for Netware backups
You may want to put your INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists, 6 of them, in CLIENTOPTION sets. Then write a server script that will associate and dis-associate the desired node before/after the scheduled backups. I realize that you are now synchronizing the server schedules and client schedules but it should work. I do a synchronized duel schedule to control when my FULL (copymode=absolute) and INCREMENTAL (copymode=modified) are run.

Re: Multiple Sessions for Netware backups
Use multiple node names on the Netware client. Then load one scheduler for each node name you need. Specify the node names in the schedule on the server. dsm1.opt nodename nodea incl... dsm2.opt nodename nodeb incl load dsmc sched -optfil=dsm1.opt load dsmc sched -optfil=dsm2.opt -Original Message- From: Denis L'Huillier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 11:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Multiple Sessions for Netware backups Don't laugh I am trying to set up a backup schedule for a Netware server.
