The simple answer is no. You cant backup/restore the database(which contains all information) between Windows and Linux. That's why you need to do the import/export, you need to import the information stored in your TSM database to a new empty database on the Linux machine.
Dont know what kind of library you have, but cant you partition it and create a secondary logical library for your Linux server? You could also setup a library manager/library client configuration so that your new TSM server has access to the library, and then just switch the library manager to the new TSM server as soon as you've done the export/import step.

I think ,one of the ways to go about this would be server to server export but as we are having a single tape library which is almost filled to capacity , I was wondering if it is possible to have my New Linux TSM server to just take control of all the tapes/media/database held by the current Win TSM server without actually doing export/import. Please let me know your views on this if anyone as tried this out. Thanks!! :) +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
