Re: Complete Restores of Windows (2008) Systems with the TSM Client
Before going to VMs we always loaded Windows first, then the TSM client before doing restores. But then it was only selected directories. As far as I know in order to do a BMR with TSM you need to use TSM to create a automated recovery diskette. This is used to start TSM client for the restore but we never looked in to it because it appeared that each machine's recovery diskette was unique and this is not supported on some of our machines.

Re: Backing up running VM's
We are doing a file level backup in addition to the vm backup. You are right that you need a license per vm for the file level backup but this is no different if the machine was physical. We only use the vm snapshots for our bare metal restores, then it is made current using the client installed on each vm for file level backup. But no additional licenses are requires to backup our entire vm farm except that on the VCB.

Our windows department is looking at different backup products for backing up their server. They have two major problems with TSM. One I cannot solve: the TSM client license is processor based, so quite expensive for the majority of small servers. I think we all agree that the TSM client license should be capacity based, but IBM aint listening here... The other problem is that they state TSM cannot backup running VM's. They now use a product called DPM to make snapshot copies of running VM's. I'm not really familiar with Window server management, especially when it comes to virtualization, but I know one thing: TSM is one of the leading, cutting edge backup products, so I doubt TSM is not supporting this feature.

Hi, Our 3584 library, it holds 270 tapes, is full because we keep our exchange backup forever. I had to checkout some tapes for onsite storage. However, we come to the point that it makes reclamation very inefficiency since tapes are not in the library. I am thinking to create a new Domain and move some nodes to the new domain.

My question is should I use the current copy tape pool or create a new copy tape pool bind to the new domain. In addition, any suggest solution for a situation that I have now?

Create a FILE class pool on disk for onsite restore that associate with the new domain. For now on the current domain, our primary pool is on tapes. A copy tape pool is send to offsite for DR. My question is should I use the current copy tape pool or create a new copy tape pool bind to the new domain. In addition, any suggest solution for a situation that I have now? I am sorry I am new to TSM, I hope I explain well the situation we have now. You can do both. There is something to say for having a dedicated copy pool for each primary pool hierarchy.

Re: File Device class question
Thanks for the advice, but we would like to put the onsite backup on disk for fast restore purpose. We had a SAN melt down last year and it took 3 days to restore 70 VM servers. So we would really like to put the backup on disk. In addition, how much GB you would recommend for a FILE volume? I read some forum, someone recommend 25GB and some recommend 50GB.

devclass file vs devclass disk
With a devclass of file, a storage group must have reclamation run regularly, in some cases this can be costly. I'm told that devclass disk will end up fragmenting the storage. This puzzles me. Are TSM file placement algorithms really that bad for disk? It would seem to me that devclass file just puts the file placement work off onto the underlying OS. The reason I ask is that we have a setup of two TSM servers that all our production servers back up to. Then the two TSM servers back up to TSM servers half a state away. The way off campus servers are two instances on the same physical server. All four servers have their storage groups set up as devclass file. Bandwidth is turning out to be a problem. Backups from the local to remote servers take more than a day and then reclamation of the copypools from the local to remote servers never gets a chance to finish. Result is that the remote servers are full. Wouldn't setting up the remote storage groups as devclass disk at least eliminate reclamation? Would performance eventually suffer because of disk fragmentaion? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you may offer.
Re: File Device class question
Yes, I hope I can change the policy but that's the upper management decision. I will create a new copy tape pool for the new domain.
