Hi Everyone
I'm finding myself often in a situation where I need to use an admin
client from a strange machine, say a Windows terminal server where I
don't have rights to install anything. I would like to have a package
set up ready that I can upload to my home drive to do this. Given that

I would also recommend the robocopy way! Run a robocopy job transferring all
files to the new volume. That may run even for days but if you run it again

I think Howard has the right idea. Backing up a node to a remote TSM server
can be held up by various things like many small files, incremental
analysis, etc. Backing up locally is a more slick solution.

You need to be far more explicit in your description of your situation:
How many nodes?
Backups go straight to tape?
What do you mean, "the compatibility?"
What is the "testdb backup?"
The word "server" is ambiguous:
Are your test and production "servers" TSM servers connected to a client

Hello Neil,
Yes that's no problem, we already have 1 taperobot for the 1-st backup
and 1 taperobot for the copy tapes (fiber).

Rolf,
Have you verified that the link between the data centers can handle
the data traffic generated during client backups?

I think the advantage is on the restore: you won't have to create a gazillion
little files which is actually the bottleneck (typically) in Windows. The
backup will be limited to one stream, but that will be faster too, on the order
of what a GiGE network can optimally do: 200-300GB/hour. I thi
That will limit you to a single session performing an image backup (won't
it??? I don't use image backup)
Windows clients have become better at pumping data but lately but a single
session still won't come near maxing out a NIC.
We have some multiple TB SAP data bases on windows servers (I know

Is it lots of little files (I know, silly question with it being a windows
file server).
Also, how long is "over night"?
Is that compressed client data or is it file space data?
Is that a backup or archive?
What is your network? 100 Mb/sec fast Ethernet? Gig Ethernet? Teamed
NIC's?

Nicholas,
If all your client needs to do is get the data from point A to B, I
wouldn't even use TSM. Tell your Windows engineers to use the built in
robocopy utility and go direct. This is how we migrated 4TB of user data
from old to new fileservers. Not only do you avoid wasting TSM
resources,

We installed storage agents on two unix servers that have weekly 2TB
archives. Each archive takes about 6.5 hours.

Hello All,
I have a client that needs to move a 2Tb volume on their Windows file
server. Their TSM sever is also on Windows w/TSM v5.3.4. What is the
fastest/best way to accomplish this. We tested an archive but it only got
340Gb overnight. They don't have enough disk based pool space to land it
hi guru's,
We are facing more time consumption problem while taking backup.we
have upgraded the tsm version from 5.3 to 5.5.three tape drives are used.when
we where using a single drive it will take 8 hrs time to backup datas which is
around 600 gb
What we have setup (across three DCs) is that all the local nodes backup
to their local TSM server.
Then each TSM server is backed up by another across the WAN.
So, all theTSM Server sysback, and files are backed up remotely (such as
volhist, devconfig, etc.) but all the other clients backup local

I have to set up cross backup between 2 datacenters. What is the

As far as I can see I have to setup schedules/policy domains/policy sets/
