Hi all, I may be required to implement a weekly full backup for certain of our key netware data servers. I have used all the arguments against this pointing out that you do not need it with the incremental forever philosophy of TSM. I have also pointed out that if you do need it, backupsets are the preferred alternative. However assuming I am forced to go that route I have a few of queries.
Am I correct that you need to set the backup copygroup mode to absolute for every management class mentioned in the dsm.opts plus the default, before the "full backups", and reverse it back to modified afterwards. Will the TSM host server still need to produce and send its list of active files to the client for comparison purposes, even if only to mark deleted files inactive. Will the absence of file attribute checking on the client make any noticeable difference to how long the backup takes.
