Those of you who are not interested please excuse the off topic post - this forum is the best source of 3494 information around. I have an AS400 connected to two drives in the 3494 which I theoretically control. I use the other two drives for TSM on an RS6000. This AS400 is not configured to

EMC, Timefinder, Oracle, and TSM

I have an Oracle DB on Sun in an EMC with Timefinder. The plan is to use Timefinder to create BCV's of the DB and then back up the BCV's to TSM. Question: How can I use the BCV's and still provide the ability to restore to the most recent point in time? If the entire database is backed-up by at

OK... in your management class's backup copygroup, you can change the FREQUENCY setting as I suggested in my earlier response. In the schedule settings, you should change the OBJECTS from: C:\TSM Backup to C:\TSM Backup\ unless you only want to back up the single file or directory named

Hi, Jack. I believe the client is still using the encrypted cached password even when you specify the -password option. That or maybe it's defaulting to the TSM Authorized User/sticky bit behavior described in the manual. In either case, the truth is that any user that knows the node's password

We do incremental on weekdays and full on weekends for our Oracle databases. I do find that both types of backup take "about" the same amount of time. As far as I know we never looked into backup of just redo during the week but I think we will now. -Original Message- From: Davidson, Beck

When you have access to the node's password, TSM assumes you're the authorized backup person for the node, which is why you can see everything when you use the VirtualNodeName option and plug in the password. As root, obviously you have access to all the files, so you can see them then, also. A
