Re: TSM time Travel

I know this is uncommon, but I prefer, even with LTO, to have one logical library per device type (LTO generation). Unfortunately, TSM doesn't understand many of the great features that ACSLS provides, including scratch pools. But with separate logical libraries, you can at least check your tape

Mario, The "x" just means that you cannot selectively "choose" a single database for backup. Backup can only be done at the Storage Group level. Even if there is only one database in the storage group, you need to choose the entire storage group so the transaction logs for that storage group ar

Hi Gary, In theory, yes, the client is supposed to clean up the older entries. There have been a few defects in this area (most recently IC63625) that can cause the older entries to not be cleaned up. Current client versions should, at the start of the next system state backup, clean out the entri

Mario, About CCR vs. SCR vs. SCC. Ask your Exchange Admin. They will know. :-) Microsoft does not support "legacy" backups from a CCR passive or SCR replicas. In order to perform a VSS backup from the passive node of a CCR cluster, you must either have TSM for Copy Services or FlashCopy Manager
