Hello, Does anyone have any idea if for TDP Exchange backups, one can include/exclude based on LOG or Database file specifications. I'm looking for a way to tell TSM not to dedup on LOG Files, but to process Database files only.
FYI, I've been running source-side dedup on exchange for several months now without much issue aside from crappy dedup rates (I think the logs contribute to that, as well as Exchange's penchant for reorganizing DB data) but now we're hitting some issues on speed (dedup rate is about 50%, but I think we save on backup time). I can't seem to find what could be slowing down the backup rate, but it went from 3 hours to 6 hours in some cases for a single DB (about 200GB databases). Also, I'm getting weird API errors which is a separate problem. What I'm really trying to do, however, is to stop source side dedup from trying to process LOG files. Is an exclude.dedup /..../*.LOG construct supported by TDP for Exchange? Thanks for the help! Sergio
