Hi, I just configured our TSM server (5.4.1.2 on AIX) to backup our two NetApp filers. I have a few question regarding the NDMP backups:
- How do I have to define the backup copygroup? I want to keep the full backup and two differentials. Is it correct to set the option verexists=2? After the third backup I only see the two differentials with the command "q nasbackup". The full backup disappeared because it seems to have been expired. - How long will the full backup be kept? - Is it possible to get some information about the last full backup after it has been expired? - Is it possible to automatically create full backups after a given time (2 weeks for example)? It's not a good idea to create full backups of the whole filers on the same day, so I want to define a different time for each filesystem. Is it possible without defining separate schedules for each filesystem? It would be nice to have an option for a filesystem that says "create a full backup every 14 days". - I don't see accounting information about the nas backups in the dsmaccnt.log file. Is it possible to find out how much data has been backed up from the nas nodes? Sorry for so many questions but the TSM manuals are a bit rare on this topic. -- Viele Gruesse, Dirk Kastens Universitaet Osnabrueck, Rechenzentrum (Computer Center) Albrechtstr. 28, 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Tel.: +49-541-969-2347, FAX: -2470
