Richard:

Rational clearing states that there is no integration with any backup
product, but rather in its documentation is outlines the best way to backup
the VOBs is by using their tools to lock the VOBS / and Unlock the VOBS.

Before the backup begins:
LOGF=/tmp/somelogfile
        echo Locking vobs on `date` >>$LOGF  2>&1
        VOBS=`/usr/atria/bin/cleartool lsvob | grep GROUP_VOB_NAME | grep -v
\
          replica | cut -c 3- | awk '{print $2}'`
        for vob in $VOBS
        do
                /usr/atria/bin/cleartool lock -vob $vob >> $LOGF  2>&1
        done

After the backup completes:
LOGF=/tmp/somelogfile
        echo Locking vobs on `date` >>$LOGF  2>&1
        VOBS=`/usr/atria/bin/cleartool lsvob | grep GROUP_VOB_NAME | grep -v
\
          replica | cut -c 3- | awk '{print $2}'`
        for vob in $VOBS
        do
                /usr/atria/bin/cleartool unlock -vob $vob >> $LOGF  2>&1
        done

I don't use ADSM for backup of these VOBS, so I don't know where you would
put these pre and post execution commands.

Subject: TSM Backing up Clear Case ??


Hello to all:

We are in the process of purchasing TSM and other Tivoli products. I had a
developer ask me if TSM does or can be used to backup a product called
ClearCase. ClearCase is from Rational and it has Oracle plus what they call
a VOB which tracks versions as well as checkin and checkout programs. I
would like to know if anyone out there is using TSM to backup and restore
this info, and also if there is any special product from Tivoli that was
purchased to make it easier ?  I know the Rational is a partner with IBM for
ClearCase and ClearQuest. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. I would
like to do it right the first time.
