TSM for ve 6.4, tsm server 6.2.5 on RHEL 6.1 Data movers on RHEL 6.1. Ran our first backup of a production vmware host. We thin provision our vms. One is provisioned at around 1 tB. However, according to our vmware admin, it is using only around 238 gB of disk at this time.
When we ran the backup, It appeared to back up the entire 1 tB of something. The schedule for the backup is below. Is this a limitation of the product, or simply misconfiguration. TSM I can deal with, vmware, I know little about. Any pointers to good reference info would be appreciated. I have looked in the TSM for ve users's guide, but don't' see anything.
