Seeking thoughts/experiences on backing up large amounts (say 50 Petabytes) of data

2008-01-23 Thread Bob Talda
Folks: Our group has been approached by a customer who asked if we could backup/archive 50 petabytes of data. And yes, they are serious. We've begun building questions for the customer, but as this is roughly 1000 times the current amount of data we backup, we are on unfamiliar turf here.

This issue impacts the 5.4.0.0 and 5.4.0.2 versions of the client as well... And our users do find the message confusing, given that we insist on 10.4.7, based on the documentation provided by IBM... Heinz Flemming wrote: According to Gretchen L. Thiele: Checking to see if anyone else has thi

There is one other possibility... We are working with IBM on a very similar sounding problem impacting the 5.3.2.x client for Macintosh, which, for the first time, uses a dsmcad process to invoke schedule backups. Hence, the possible link to Linux Here, the problem is that the generated passwor

Many thanks to all who responded, most particularly to Richard Sims, who (no surprise) steered me in the right direction. In brief, on a whim, I restarted the TSM server (potentially costly whim); this didn't help, but it did change the error tsm: ADSM2>def logcopy /dev/rD100b2L01L002 /dev/rD100b
