Hello Adsmers When doing a backup stgpool, what logic is used by TSM to determine the sequence of objects copied to the backup pool ? Is there any way to change the order ? Does it look through the database alphabetically, by timestamp , or by some other order ? Thanks, Glenn MacIntosh Manager of Technical Services Sobeys Inc. 123 Foord St. Stellarton, Nova Scotia (902) 752-8371 Ext. 4017
