Impact of TSM upgrade to 4.2 on Fibre channel Protocol

Re: AW: Device_Mountlimit_VTS

Collocation has nothing to do with it. It's the nature of TSM and the VTS that causes 'problems.' TSM likes to use all the space on a tape. TSM keeps writing to a tape until it hits end-of-volume (EOV), then asks for another tape with space on it or a scratch tape. In a VTS, when you ask for a vi

Re: archive or incremental backup type

Hi Ok.. No TDP:s... How about using SQL-BackTrack for Oracle?

Or, using archiving. However

Re: archive or incremental backup type

Hi Incremental = Minimizes your backup window, as only changed files are moved. However, you could activate subfile backup, which means that only the changed part of the file is backed up. Incremental works best with smaller files, as large files requires that the complete file is backed up.
