Re: Lifespan of media

I can't find a machine in our shop to read a 5.25" floppy. The lifetime of the media sometimes exceeds the lifetime of the technology. This is a particular problem with very long term archival. Even if the drive can read the tape, the software needs to be able to interpret it, which TSM has don

Re: Policy and expiration

Patrick, Since TSM only backs up changed files, some of your older offsite tapes will still contain data that is a current backup (i.e. files that haven't changed since they were first backed up). You really have to go to volume-based cycle system, ie you send tapes offsite and retrieve them

Stephen, It depends on what it is you are backing up. As you know TSM only normally does incrementals, so if your data is a number of small files, the time taken to traverse your directory tree is reasonable and only a reasonable subset need to be backed up, then the TSM backup process may b

Re: Lifespan of media

I like to take a different approach: If you put your archive data on a tape and then take that tape to the offsite for long term storage, media life is an issue. If, however, you let the archive data mix with the backup data, that data is reclaimed occasionally which provides a refresh of the da

First of all I do not know Andy's position at Tivoli. And read what is written in the README: "This is not officially supported by IBM, but IBM support people do participate in the discussions, along with other users." So IMHO here Andy is just a colleague. More skilled in ADSM/TSM, closer to the

Netware restores and backup sets

W did a test full restore of a netware server. The restore was around 40gb and took 8 hours. The Netware admins were disappointed with this time. To try and compare this time with something else, we created a backup set for the same server - it took 3 hours. My take is that a backup set creat

Re: TSM Certification Exam - fast test

If you have read the recommended books (mainly Concepts and Technical Guide) and installed at least a single server and client (reading sometimes Administration Guide) it is not so hard to take the exam. It took me about 40-50 min with registration so you have twice more time than needed. Zlat

Re: Client and AIX mirrored disks...

Stephen, there is no any need to vary off the logical volumes. Moreover you cannot vary off the LVs but only the whole VG. And you have no access to logical volumes in varied off VG, only to the physical disks. TSM itself does not care is you LV mirrored or not. The B/A client accesses files on t

Re: TSM 4.2.1

Re: Sybase with TSM

Hi, we use Sybase on UNIX, so I don't know if this helps but... First, SQL Backtrack, IMHO, is not production software. We dump ALL the databases to a filesystem, then backup the filesystem and database dumps as regular files, it works very well. However I have the benefit of a high speed net

Re: TSM 4.2.1

I agree. don't... I did the upgrade yesterday. (AIX 4.3.2) Only one problem discovered so far, but it's serius. Something is messed up with the allocation of mountpoins in the libraries. Clients or processes needing a mountpoint would earlier just sit and wait until one was available. In 4.2.1

Re: Client and AIX mirrored disks...

Hi, Let me try and clarify things and that should answer your question First, are you backing up filesystems or raw logical volumes? (hmm, it might not matter). Remember filesystems are built on logical volumes, logical volumes point to one ore more physical volumes. So if you are backing
