What about running image backups? There's a section of the client manual discussing image backups and incrementals for restore/recovery.

If you have tape robot this is rarely a major factor in slow restores, Usually it is the network or the client that is the bottleneck Have you looked at the restore session stats. If you really think that tape mounts are an issue then have a look at 1) move node data 2) backupsets 3) reclamation thresholds George Hagopian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 25/08/2004 23:43 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Running periodic Full backups Use the selective backup option...you have to tell TSM what filesystems/drive letters to backup but it does work. -----Original Message----- From: Cargill, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 6:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Running periodic Full backups Does anyone know how to easily force a full backup? I know about changing the management class attribute copymode to absolute. What I'm trying to do is run a monthly full backup to improve our restore performance. What we're running into are many tape mounts doing a point in time restore even in a co-located storage pool.
