Hello,
We just introduced TSM in our environment. We are now backuping up
1 unix server and 12 Windows clients (Windows 2000 Server, SP2).
We are using TSM Server 4.2.1.9 on a Unix server (S7A) and use
TSM Client 4.2.1.20 on all the windows clients.
We use a 3583 Ultrium Tape Lib, with 2 drives
I have had some problems at 4.1.3 with reclaims of tapes recorded at low density
hanging on reclaim after the move to high density. This may be fixed by later
maintenance.
You may also like to change the way that you operate such as defining some volumes
into pools rather than letting them tak

Hi Michel/list,
A former employee here wrote a small program that read the
tapes directly. It had some shortcomings and tweeking
(depending on NT or AIX). This is a program that was run
on an AIX box. Not sure if it will compile on any other
OS. It made no distinction of old/delted files and

Michael,
To the best of my knowledge, you MUST have a valid DB backup tape to
recover. AFAIK, it is not possible to read storagepool media without an
intact database.
If your DB is not intact, and your DB backup tapes are no good, I would
recommend that you call TSM support to see if they can h
