Hi Matthew. I do mostly cluster level backups but for some installations we have folders assigned to different customers and need a separate data mover for each. Without a subdir=yes type backup we get into the fun situation where someone has made a new sub folder without informing us.
TSM has advanced and granular rules for file inclusion/exclusion but the TDP Vmware rules are too rudimentary to be useful in my opinion. As I understand IBM is abandoning the TSM way of doing things where the TSM admin controls the backup process with rules and policies and we will probably not see any improvement. If the responsibility of doing image backups is transferred to our VMware guys they will choose the backup software and TSM won't be on the short list. IBM should be aware of that. Hans Chr.
