Hi Richard Some TDPs use archives as their underlying storage mechanism. Most modern ones use backups. q occ can be used against the node to see which is in use. Be careful with FILEDATA=BACKUPACTIVE, some TDPs work by maintaining a unique machine-generated name for each bit of the backup, and then mark it inactive when the product wants to forget about it - TDP for Oracle works this way. Others use the same name over and over, and so the standard TSM aging mechanisms work as usual. TDP for Domino is like this.
So if you use filedata=backupactive against TDP for Oracle you will get a lot more data than you would normally expect - every backup that RMAN is still tracking, whereas the same command against TDP for Domino will give you just the last backup (plus all the transaction logs) Regards Steve Steven Harris TSM Admin, Sydney Australia Io Saturnalia!

Hi All, I was just wondering, if I do an EXPORT NODE with FILEDATA=BACKUPActive, will TDP data for this node be exported as well? Can someone shed some light on this? It appears when I import this node, only the Storage Group (TDP for Exchange) gets created (139 bytes are imported), I use FILEDATA=ALL when importing. I've been searching on this subject, but I cannot find a good answer.
