I to all I try to figure a scenario to change a backup for a client that only pst files to go to another storage I created a new management class and different copygroup destination for pst files call: mgtest1
? For all files management mgtest (default) go to TSMSTG1 storage ? For pst files management mgtest1 go to TSMSTG2 storage ? Here the copygroup output: tsm: TSMTEST>q co test active mgtest* f=d Policy Policy Mgmt Copy Copy Versions Versions Retain Retain Copy Mode Copy Serialization Copy Copy Destination Table of Domain Set Name Class Group Group Data Data Extra Only Frequency Contents Name Name Name Type Exists Deleted Versions Version (TOC) Destination ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEST ACTIVE MGTEST STANDARD Backup 3 1 No Limit 90 Modified Shared Static 0 TSMSTG1 TSMSTG1 TEST ACTIVE MGTEST1 STANDARD Backup 2 1 30 60 Modified Shared Static 0 TSMSTG2 TSMSTG2 In my dsm.opt I add another include statement: include "c:\...\*.*" mgtest include "c:\...\*.pst" mgtest1 Run an incremental backup with the new include pst statement: Here the output: 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4952I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects inspected: 44,375 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4954I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects backed up: 24 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4958I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects updated: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4960I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects rebound: 9 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4957I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects deleted: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4970I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects expired: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4959I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects failed: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4197I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects encrypted: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4965I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of subfile objects: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4914I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of objects grew: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4916I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of retries: 0 (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4977I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of bytes inspected: 12.99 GB (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4961I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total number of bytes transferred: 25.16 MB (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4963I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Data transfer time: 0.21 sec (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4966I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Network data transfer rate: 117,985.53 KB/sec (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4967I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Aggregate data transfer rate: 445.70 KB/sec (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4968I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Objects compressed by: 0% (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4976I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Total data reduction ratio: 99.82% (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4969I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Subfile objects reduced by: 0% (SESSION: 1629) 08/13/2015 08:02:19 ANE4964I (Session: 1629, Node: TEST) Elapsed processing time: 00:00:57 (SESSION: 1629) As you see I have rebound files (pst files) , I check in the restore the pst files are connected to mgtest1 But when I did a q occ everything is on TSMSTG1 tsm: TSMTEST>q occ test Node Name Type Filespace FSID Storage Number of Physical Logical Name Pool Name Files Space Space Occupied Occupied (MB) (MB) ---------- ---- ---------- ---- ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- TEST Bkup \\nasw\c$ 3 TSMSTG1 41,084 - 12,726.42 And too for a q nodedata : tsm: TSMTEST>q nodedata test Node Name Volume Name Storage Pool Physical Name Space Occupied (MB) ---------------- ------------------------------ ---------------- -------- TEST C:\MOUNTPOINTS\STORAGE_1\STG3- TSMSTG1 5,803.03 \0000025C.BFS Why it didn’t write the pst files to TSMSTG2 storage where the mgtest1 management is configured ??
