Hi Richard There are 2 ways of doing it: a) Only use FastBack. In this case you'd not use tape, only the disk that is connected to FastBack b) Use FastBack in conjunction with TSM to store long-term data in TSM Which option to use all depends on how large amount of data you're backing up. If

Hi Mario, sorry about a misspelling in my response. We need to have "curly brackets" instead of "round brackets", i.e. VIRTUALMountpoint ${USERDIR} will do the job. Regards, Peter -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 18:21:02 +0100 From: Peter Duempert

Hi Mario, just another URL, which shows propper examples for the usage of VIRTUALMountpoint and environment-variables http://oit.wvu.edu/systems/files/tsm/4.1/sun/afsc/ansf0010.htm#HDRFILESP In this case related to backup directories residing in AFS. Peter On Tue, 1 Mar 2011

Hi Mario, Some comments: * Why exactly are you doing this? Why not let incremental backup just back up new files in the /backup/rman/full/ directory structure? Do you anticipate unwieldy amounts of data? As someone else pointed out, you will eventually have a mountain of virtualmountpoint stateme

Hi Mario, far back into 1998, when the nowadays TSM was called ADSM, I had a similar problem and asked the list by the following message: http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/ADSM-L/1998-05/msg00510.html I can't remember who pointed me to the right syntax to solve it via the following line in dsm.s

It should if the virtualm exists when the dsmc command is run, but you're going to have one of the longest dsm.sys files after a while. You may want to include something in your script that deletes previous virtual mount point entries so that doesn't happen. See Ya' Howard Coles Jr., RHCE, CNE

Hi all, I have to configure a virtualmountpoint option before some backups. The directory name, part of it, is formed by a date...and I will have to append this line in the dsm.sys file everytime I perform this particular backup. Here is the script...the TSM Clent is Red Hat... export ARCHLOG=`d

We have a document mgt application that stores gobs of files (documents) that are tracked by a bunch of databases. We were hitting the same kind of problems you are having in getting it backed up. And, even thought we had some kind of backup, it was clear that the server could never be restor

There is a 2TB protected volume size limitation with the FastBack client that could be a factor here (although I recall that this might actually be a Windows/VSS limitation) but otherwise I think FastBack could be a useful option for Wanda. FYI, FastBack 6.1.3.0 was released last week and (fina
