Dear Mr Donald It is not possible to archive data from SQL and Exchange.
I hasn´t hear anything about that IBM will make this feature possible. Old SQL data and old Excahnge data is useless. the only reason for you to use this kind of data is perhaps that 2 years from now you would like to know how your databases looked like in 2002. I think Oracle has a interface that creates a snapshot of your database, oracle then dumps the data to files. Im not enugh database guru to know this in depth but perhaps microsoft has a utility like this one. I think that is the way the vendors want you to do it. hope this helps :) Kvedja/Regards Petur Eythorsson Taeknimadur/Technician IBM Certified Specialist - AIX Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Professional Microsoft Certified System Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nyherji Hf Simi TEL: +354-569-7700 Borgartun 37 105 Iceland URL: http://www.nyherji.is -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Levinson, Donald A. Sent: 17. júlí 2002 18:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Archive or monthly capability for TDP MS-SQL and MS-Exchange Is it possible to do an Archive from TDP for MS-SQL and TDP for MS-Exchange? if not does anyone know if that feature is in future plans? I need to be able to keep monthly and yearly backups or archives of my database but still expire the rest of the backups. One person suggested I create two clients and backup the monthly and yearly backups to the second client name (using a second dsm.opt I presume) but I do not wish to use two TDP licenses just to backup the same box. Has anyone else come up with a resolution to this using the current TDP clients? This transmittal may contain confidential information intended solely for the addressee.
