WOW, the 342 Million files is what is killing you but it still seems like an excessive amount of time. You mentioned Saturday as when it starts. You are running expiration daily aren't you? You should be able to run expiration and reclamation to completion each day or you need to look at another in

As the saying goes "In a perfect world...". I agree on not running client backups during expiration and that is how it starts out (beginning at 8am Saturdays), but invariably runs into the next backup cycle. These machines have 8GB RAM and are dedicated to TSM. Quad 3Ghz processors. RH Linu

IF you have your db on hardware mirrored disks then creating a mirrored DB will not help you. However, some general guides are to have multiple, smaller db volumes, as this allows more concurrent processes to run against the db. Also DO NOT run client backups while expire is running, it slows eve

One additional item on this, having done a few times. A slight "gotcha". When you run the "preview" to see what tapes to bring onsite, then you bring them back. You do the "restore" and then sometimes find out that you still need another tape or two. Why? You have been running reclamation on

You can't run a move drm on a tape marked vault. You just have to Check it in as Steve and I have said and then update it. DRM will take care of the vault status from there. I would think your offsite tape vendor has a way of contacting them, via web or phone and telling them to bring back addit

Correct, recalling specific offsite tapes for a restore would not be done with "move drmedia" Move drmedia follows a normal "lifecycle". Recalling a tape for a restore is an interrupt in that cycle, so it needs to be handled manually by using "upd vol $VOL acc=readonly". Running this command puts
