Re: TSM/TDP and MySQL
Hi Zoltan I had a meeting a couple of months back withe the local TSM sales guy and the whole sales stack back to the US, and raised the issue of other DBMS. they pointed me at Zmanda for Mysql and BMC SQLBacktrack for Sybase. I wasn't impressed either. Regards Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin, Paraparaumu, New Zealand. Remco Post wrote: On 18 mei 2010, at 16:23, Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU wrote: Thanks for the reference.

Hi Zoltan, Take a look at the Backing Up Databases Using ADSMPIPE and the TSM API: Examples Using Linux Redbook - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/redp3980.html?Open It has a section on backing up MySQL.
