Sure you can...! just put them in different domains, point the mgmt class (copy groups) to different tape pools and boom...done full backups ? are you talking in the old terms of "full backups" that doesn't apply here in the new world ? every time an "incremental" runs it builds a "full" comple

Now from what I remember (and I haven't double checked the 3.7 docs) is that if you don't own a file, you CAN NOT back it up because backups (incremental/selective) actually causes data to go away (rolling off inactive versions). I'm surprised that 3.2 let you... when I tested things, you could

What do all the other sessions show during the backups... "MediaWait" ? ? ? if so, if you do a "q sess f=d" what volser is listed as being waited on? ? ? the one currently mounted ? now you are backing up this application by shutting down the DB and letting incremental processing back it up ? ?

Well, in a "def stg po=co" the default collocation is "no" but it kinda sounds like you might be seeing collocation=yes in your copy pool... how many nodes in the primary pool ? I take it there are no anre messages around the time of the backup stg I'm also guessing the tapes are still "r

Ooops... I would beg to differ with the "expert" ! Now as load fluctuates this will shift from being important to not so important but... TSM really works good at spreading its load across all defined logical devices. If you have each 8 GB physical device split into 4 - 2GB logical devices then sa
