Hello I'm running TSM client in an authorized user configuration. This authorized user has specific ACL set on the directory we want to backup. It drived me to launch my backup by specifying the filespace I want to backup while calling dsmc ; for exemple : dsmc incr /appli/myappli

John, If TSM thinks that the cartridges are already offsite, then you should be able to remove them from the library using library commands. See publication 96845 Chapter 4, Export Data Cartridges: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/L700.tape#hic Cheers, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg

Marc - A 'dsmc Incremental Fspec' type backup where the Fspec identifies a directory or file within a file system constitutes a partial incremental backup. It is still an Incremental, where the TSM server (or JBB database) is referred to for the list of Active files within the involved area.

Solid database and TSM backups

2008-07-10 Thread Laughlin, Lisa
Good Morning all, Does anyone have any servers running solid databases that are backed up by TSM? I just found out we now need to ensure recoverability of this IVR system. The contactor provided information on backups via Symantec Intelligent Disaster Recovery. We are a TSM shop and have been

This worked! I was able to checkin/checkout 7 of the 12 'missing' volumes (it couldn't find 5 of them). That tells me that they are no longer in the library so now I will request a report from our offsite storage vendor for the remaining tapes. I suspect that they made it there after all.

We're running an RS6000 w/AIX. TSM 5.3.2. We'd like to migrate to Linux. I don't have a ton of information, but I need to know if anyone has had experience in similar situation or desires. Please let me know if you have any resources to discuss this! Many thanks in advance!!

I think someone is pulling a fast one on you. Most likely this is caused by sales people of iscsi equipment. However, FC is still faster, and more reliable. The only reason it would go away is if your managers and CIO decided to do away with it. From what I've seen out of Brocade, they'd be

Howard, Thanks for your input. Our very vocal proponent of iscsi is probably getting his information from a Gartner-wannabe trade rag that is being sponsored by iscsi vendors. He is from our Network group, and has never been responsible for a storage environment himself. By

You can change the tsmjbbd.ini file to PreserveDbOnExit=1 just before you reboot. Give it a few seconds, and the journal service should pick it up dynamically. Then go ahead and reboot. Obviously we support PreserveDbOnExit=1, else it would not be there. I was simply trying to point out the

Well, I guess I really stepped in it... :-) Journal based backup is primarily targeted for cases where there are lots (hundreds of thousands or millions) of files with a small percent of changed files. In these cases, the backup operation might take hours to run, but only spend a handful of

Hi Alex, Good out-of-the-box thinking, but the drawbacks are probably more severe than the advantages: - The TSM journal service (at least on Windows) is not a filter driver. - Such a solution would cause lots of problems for the OS itself. - I wouldn't want to be in your shoes if you
