Currently in the process of upgrading from TSM client v4.2.1 to TSM client v5.2.0 on Sun 2.6 and Sun 2.8.
Although the backup schedules appear to be running without incident, (i.e. no error messages and nothing odd in the dsmsched.log or dsmerror.log) if I log into the client and issue dsmc q fi, the last incremental date is the date in which we upgraded to TSMv5.2.0. Scheduled backups have, however, successfully executed since then. I did some further testing. I created a new file on /, and ran "dsmc incr". The new file does not get backed up. However, if I run "dsmc incr /, the file does get backed up. Can anyone shed any light on this. Help would be greatly appreciated as I've rolled this out to production servers and can not afford to go much longer without knowing my backups are valid. thx
