Re: Unexpected behavior - Win2k3, TSM 5.4, NTFS permissions

Hi Mark, Thanks for your comments. I've decided to not go with subfile backups because (from training late last year) I understood that a 1MB file could be backed up over many volumes, thus being insanely slow to restore. The spike of 120GB isn't a huge problem. Currently, we're only have about 2

Geoff, To add to Wanda's point #6 regarding "recoverability in 10 years". It is relatively simple (but time consuming) to transfer old data to new media by simply creating a storage pool for that new media and running a "move data" command. If you upgrade to a new TSM server, it is also simple

John, We use Verint Ultra here as well. It is a pain, but it can be managed with TSM. You just have to use every tool available in TSM - journal based backups, disk-based memory efficient option, etc. Here is the dsm.opt file that we use, along with some sample dsmsched.log outputs from non-jou

Post´s answer basiclly said TSM supports Windows 2008 under the assumption the agent is installed on every virtual server. You might like the approach above but I would prefer a more centralized way to do backups of virtual servers, ex. like Vmware Consolidated Backup. Since Post knows alot of
