Okay I'm with you so far, but will TSM server be able to tag a file as
a sparse file even if the client is compressing the file before it
sends it to TSM? Or does the client mark it as a sparse file. Otherwise
how would makesparsefile know to restore the file as a sparse file?
Thanks!
Alex
On Tue,
The TSM server is not actively "aware" of a file's attributes. The
"sparseness" of the file is determined at restore time, after the data has
been uncompressed, but before it is written to the disk.

Is there any way in the Operational Reporter to send multiple missed/
failure notifications for the same client or are you limited to just
one name and email address?

Name your backupsets intelligently when you create them. For instance,
create a batch file that passes the nodename and datestamp as arguments
to create backupsets with names such as FILESERVER1.01242005.
Please note: be careful when you delete old volume history entries. Do
not delete the backups
Dear All,
Currently I am creating backupsets for different nodes, to send them
offsite. I have created schedules for each nodes on TSM and the only way for
me to identify which tapes belong to BackupSet, to find out volumes from
table 'LIBVOLUMES' which have last_use = backupset.
how do I find out
Thanks Andrew
I will redo my test with an on-line Image ... because with the offline one
it doesn't work
I tried again ... and the files I deleted after the IMAGE BACKUP are still

There are no plans for a 5.1.8 client. If you require a fix at the 5.1
level, you should open a call with support so we can look into the
possibility of getting you a 5.1.7-based interim fix.

Since that DB restore was almost a week ago, I don't have any live data
for you. But *if I recall correctly*, each disk was about 50-60% busy.
Also, the DB and log re-mirrored themselves automatically after the
restore, yet I thought I saw the mirror volumes being written in parallel.

Hi gang,
I've been asked if there is any way to stop the Windows clients from

I agree that if we are monitoring TSM problems via the server log then
it seems a bit redundant.

What has been the experience of the group with recovering logged
