Hello, TSM-server AIX 5.2, TSM 5.2.4.0 TSM-client W2K, TSM 5.2.4.3
We are looking to connect our file-servers to TSM in stead of ArcServe. As part of this we are also looking for the best DR-strategy. We did some testing with a small file-server (100 GB) and we see no difference in throughput between a 'normal' restore (restoring incremental back-ups) and the combination image/incremental back-ups. One of the biggest advantage of an image, I can imagine, is a better throughput after a couple of months using incremental back-ups because in case of a DR it don't have to search the database. But instead of an image you can also make from time to time a selective back-up. What is/are the biggest advantage(s) of using an image back-up, if you are looking to restore performance? And from what size or amounts of files you get this advantage(s)? Any thoughts/experiences (better)? I know that it has only one entry in the database, but that's for the server. Thanx, Mike H. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
