Hey admins,
First off, warm holiday wishes. If you're whitting down the hours until
vacation, here's something to kill some time and might be useful to you
at some point.
It seems like I am always asked "How long is that going to take?"
especially when it comes to full backups or restores. User

Hi John,
Here's some perspective from someone who's currently transitioning from
Networker to TSM. My first blush is I'm a little surprised EMC came in
at such a dramatic discount: Saving umpteen thousands of dollars is the
main reason we switched from them to IBM. (Although I think the state

I have a few systems I'd like to add to TSM but only backup a few
directory hierarchies. These aren't always mount points (for example,
the /etc directory under the / mount point.) Does TSM really not have a
way for me to define "just back up X" without worrying about anything
else on that mount?
Hey gurus,
Do you apply server based cloptsets to your clients, based on OS, to
filter files you know are going to be a problem to backup and/or don't
need to be restored? Can someone share theirs (or point me to an
archive/resource of them? I looked but didn't see anything.) I know
it's typica
Hello gurus,
I have an Intel MacOS client running 5.4.0.0 that's failing it's

why. I'm not sure what's a cause of what. From the dsmerror.log:

One of my users pointed out that ext2 has an extended attribute to tell
dump not to back it up. He was wondering if TSM honored that setting.
I gave it a try (chattr +d test_file) and then did an incremental backup
of the directory. TSM seemed to ignore the no_dump bit and backed up
the file, and

Is there a best practice for moving nodes between domains, when the

Hello,
I've noticed that when a client either jumps off the network or has a
firewall installed that blocked server scheduled sessions, a message is
logged every 4 minutes during the schedule window stating it could not

Hello,
Forgive the laundry list of questions, but here's a few things as a

Hello,
I have questions about server sizing and scaling. I'm planning to
transition from Networker to TSM a client pool of around 300 clients,
with the last full backup being about 7TB and almost 200M files. The
TSM server platform will be RHEL Linux.
I realize putting all of that into one TSM

Hello all,
I'm having problems generating backupsets, and I'm new to TSM so I'm not
sure how to troubleshoot this. I'm running a Linux server TSM version
5.3.2. Here's what I see:
