Hello TSM admins, I've got a TSM setup of:
TSM 5.3.1.x server on Windows2003 backup to disk only (primary storage pool on a SAN and a copy storage pool to a remote SAN) The clients are a mixture of Windows NT/2000/2003, Solaris and Linux servers with Notes, MS SQL and Informix as applications that are backed up with a TDP. Due to SLA agreements a full backup should be taken every month that is stored offsite for a year. Of course this does not match with the principles 'incremental forever' and the versioning defined in the management classes. I guess that a full backup can be created from the backups already residing in the primary storage pool using a backupset. Would such a setup be feasible for 75 clients (load on the TSM server, required time to generate the backupsets, ...)? Can it be used for backups from a TDP too? Any howto's for the creation of a backupset? Are there any other methods that could be used beside a backupset? thanks for any suggestions or tips/hints, Kurt Beyers
