Hi Wanda, I hope I will see you at Pulse. :) Proxy node not solve your issue because the filespace will contain \....ExchangeServerName...\ and even if you backin up the same Database will each filespace be unique.

(oh my...) Backing up two Exchange 2010 servers with the 6.3 TDP for Exchange, TSM 6.2.3 server on Windows. There are 6 mail data bases. Half the mailboxdb's are active, half passive on each server. I installed the TDP on each server, and we specify /EXCLUDEDAGACTIVE so that only the passive copies are backed up. What I've noticed is that over time, these 2 servers have taken up much more space on the TSM server than I expected. What has happened is that the active mailboxdb's have switched back and forth between the servers. Over time, I've gotten copies of all 6 mailboxdb's backed up under each node name. And I assume that whatever the Exchange admins are doing will continue. Would it make sense to set up a proxy relationship so that both the Exchange TDPs are backing up the mailboxdb's to the same node name? That would cut back my TSM server storage when the mailboxdb's flop around. But the TDP book says for restores: The restore operation must be run on the node where the backup was created. I don't know if in this case "node" just refers to the TSM nodename, or if there is something about Exchange itself so that a restore from a proxied name doesn't work? Is proxied a proper verb? Anybody else run into this? Wanda Prather | Senior Technical Specialist | wanda.prat...@icfi.com | www.icfi.com ICF International | 401 E.
