Re: tivoli and ibm pastport advantage points

If your an IBMer you'd have a configuration price list. But I've worked for IBM and I've had to do pricing and points for their products. Basically there are clip levels for the points. x number of servers/licenses get you this level equivalent to these number of points. Clip levels vary per sof

Re: TDP for Exchange 5.5

At one point there was an issue with having a TDP which was not unicode and a Windows backup which was unicode connecting under the same node name. As a result it was recommended not to use the same node name for TDP backups if they were on windows systems where the windows backup was unicode.

Re: TDP for Exchange 5.5

rc=1837 means you have all objects excluded from backup. In looking at your DSM.OPT file, you have: EXCLUDE "*\...\*" This is the problem. You don't want to EXCLUDE items in the DSM.OPT file for Data Protection for Exchange... and if you do.. you need to follow the example i

Re: TDP for Exchange 5.5

Is there a specific reason you have a separate scheduler service for the TDP backups? You could schedule your TDP backups via the standard nodename for the server and that service. This is a positive in a couple ways: 1. Only 1 scheduler service on the client 2. The backups are single-streamed sin

Also note that the TDP has its own scheduler task that reads a dsm.opt file from the tdpexchange subdirectory. This scheduler task is in addition to the regular tsm scheduler. Ralph -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Del Hoobler Sent: S

Re: TDP for Exchange 5.5

Jason, It sounds like you set up the schedule definition incorrectly. It needs to be an COMMAND type schedule that specifies a batch file on the Exchange server machine that launches Data Protection for Exchange. There are sample batch files shipped with Data Protection for Exchange. If you look

Re: Export Node Retention question

Mark, One caveat about using EXPORT for TDP data: I don't remember the beginning of this thread, if you said WHY you are trying to do export/import of TDP data, or which TDP it is. Your need to be conscious of how the TDP works, and where you are going with the data, to decide whether this is goi

TDP for Exchange 5.5

I am trying to configure the TDP for exchange to be able to backup my Exchange 5.5 Directory and Information store fully and on a daily basis. Here is what I have in my dsm.opt (for the tdpexchange) but when I try to schedule a job it doesn't look like it reads my dsm.opt and it does an incremental

Re: Export Node Retention question

More stuff: When you do an import, you import the whole node, or at least a whole filespace. Can't get any more granular than filespace. You are essentially reloading everything back into the TSM server DB and storage pools. Then you start the regular B/A client and restore whatever files you wa

Re: Export Node Retention question

Re: NetWare NDS backup

You are correct that there is no such thing as an incremental NDS backup. That being said, I'm a little confused why your backups of it would take so long. We have a relatively large tree (in the 10's of thousands of objects), and the disk space taken up is only ~300MB. That's on a replica of the

Re: NetWare NDS backup

This is exactly what we do as well. In my experience, it'd take a pretty catastrophic failure to need these backups. I've had servers fail in the past where the replica and server can be rebuilt using file backups and the other replicas of the partitions. While I still wouldn't go without bac

Re: NetWare NDS backup

In our case, we've got 3 servers that hold replicas of the root partition. Then there's about 20 remote sites each holding a master replica of their particular OU partition. Since NDS backups in TSM are always a full backup anyway, it only makes sense to do NDS backups on one node that holds a re

Rick, Are you sure that disk pool is large enough to accommodate all the backups ? Of course it doesn't need to be! ,as automatic migration occurs, when the "High Mig Pct" threshold is reached. Therefore after you run your migration, you have got data on the primary tape pool that's not yet

Rich, If you have a file that is too large to fit in your disk pool it will go to the secondary storage pool. Your tape pool. This happens to us with some DB2 and E-Mail backups. Both backups send single files that are huge. It is also important to look at clients that are compressing t
