It's a good thing. You can just turn it on and use it with the defaults and get a lot of benefit.
Or you can use include (or exclude).subfile to use it just for a group of files - works great on those nasty, ever-expanding .pst files. It creates a \baclient\cache subdirectory - REMEMBER TO EXCLUDE that subdirectory from your client backups! -----Original Message----- From: Rowan O'Donoghue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 11:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Subfile backups (or Adaptive Copy) All, Have a customer looking at subfile backups for two webservers which are hosted at a remote hosting facility and connected via a WAN. We are looking at using subfile backups to enable these servers to participate within the TSM hierarchy, but I want to get a feel of real-world-experiences from people who are actually using it in production at the moment. What have been your main issues? (apart from the obvious being expanded TSM processing time on the client, and slow restores). Also, how have you sized the subfile cache area? Was there a rule of thumb for this sizing? thanks! Rowan.
