SV: overland tape library?

Hi Alexander! I´ve used some older Overlands together with TSM, with no greater difficulties than with other brands. Also I have used a LOT of Cpq/HP MSL-series, both with SDLT and LTO, which is actually the Overland 2000-series and I really, really like it, especially equipped with LTO-drives

Re: overland tape library?

I used an old Overland library in a previous job. It was great. One thing I really liked was its incremental expandability. We had one shelf with two DLT drives and (if I remember right) 6 tape slots. Another shelf that only had tapes in it (18 or 20 slots) then there was the elevator that took

Also, you might try running a backup using -dirsonly option? This, at least, would re-establish the directory info -- you can then restore the data/file-tree structures, but you'd likely have trouble using point-in-time parameters for a restore that includes the lost (older) directory objects.

Doesn't the new licensing scheme result in 1) higher prices for clients, but 2) lower prices for the server. So that if you are just buying client licenses you get hurt. But if you are setting up a new TSM server you don't have that big up front charge for the server end. So if you plan to bac
