From one of my MAC users. Anyone know about this?
Hello, The problems with the Mac version of TSM that I had a long time ago are reappearing. If I select a high level of the file hierarchy, such as the machine or the hard drive or the Users folder, recently modified files buried deep in my Documents folder are often not backed up. Manually drilling down to the subfolder enclosing the modified files does back up the files. It seemed like this wasn't happening for a period before my hard drive crashed a while back. It does not happen on Windows. I am using the latest TSM client for Mac, 5.3.2.1, but the problem occurs with using an older version, 5.2.4.10, as well. This is a problem in that it requires a lot of manual intervention to make sure all files are backed up regularly. One option is to back up my Mac by manually mounting its drive on my Windows machine, and using the Windows client for TSM. I just worry that the TSM people would be concerned about overall capacity and not be happy that I appear to be backing up the same drive on two different nodes. Is overall capacity an issue with the university's TSM installation? Any help you can think of would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy _______________________________________________
