I use "subfile" to differentiate from file-level de-dupe, which is
really only CAS. (A subfile de-dupe product will, of course, notice two
files that are exactly the same as well -- just like a file-level CAS
product will.)

If the password expired through normal TSM password expiration (or you

Andy,
Someone, technically, could have, but I do not think that is very likely.
When you start the backup from the Windows Taskscheduler, using dsmc backup
(so instead of using the TSM Scheduler), does the PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
mechanism still work?

I think I'd put it slightly differently. I'd say that they each

I didn't try TSM on an ESX server yet. But the installation fails
because no korn shell (ksh) is found on the ESX server.
Just install an rpm with the ksh on the ESX server prior to installing

Which ESX?
On 2.5.x you scholud use older version, up to 5.3.5. New esx release,
above 3.0 (for example 3.0.2) need installed special rpm from vmware
which add needed dependencies (I'm not sure name, but it is easy to
find them).
So - which version of ESX you use?

According to Dilligent, when RMAN uses Multiplexing, it intermingles the
data from each RMAN so the data block will be different every time so the

If PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE is in effect, then TSM should normally handle

Start a dsm, dsmc or dsmj session from the client so you can set the

Being that TSM does incremental, your de-dupe ratio will be lower than

How are you using it? As your disk cache? You have to store backups on
