Depends on what is causing the problem. If it's one GIANT DB that is causing the problem, this may not help. But if the db's aren't too big, I've had good luck turning over the backups to SQL Enterprise Manager. It's very easy to set up local backups to disk. You tell it to keep a minimum numb

One way might be to have SQL make a backup to disk then use your favorite file transfer program to bring the file local. The upside is there would be a local backup if needed. The downside is the complexity and extra disk needed. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Man

You will need to do the following on the server where you will be doing the restore: 1) Copy the password file TDPO.XX from the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin of the source server to the target 2) Modify the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt TDPO_NODE variable to point to the so

Hello, if you use the IBM VTL TS7520, then you have the possibility to do load balancing on the FC paths. This makes really sense if you have, like in your environment, many tape drives configured. Then it does not matter how TSM choose and use the tape drives. The suggestion from Pierre may
