It's just a shot in the dark, but the last time this kind of thing started happening, W2K system objects weren't being expired correctly and it was these filespace occupancies that were clearly increasing the db and storage. I say 'clearly', it only really became evident after 6 months. I'm not at

Steve, It's a shot in the dark, but did you see Del Hoobler's posting regarding the slowdown in backup performance of TDP Exchange when you apply TSM 5.3 client/API code. You don't mention your client code level and I appreciate that the posting related to backup performance, but I thought it migh

Thomas, One other thing. You mention that you have actually managed to complete this method successfully with 5.1.x.x and 5.2.x.x code. Bear in mind that there were a number of bugs with the early levels of code regarding the backup of W2K system objects. So while it may have worked for you, there

Is the machine part of a cluster ? This can happen when the cluster fails over and the cluster node connects to the TSM server with a new active node and hence a new IP address and GUID. I have also seen this with multi-honed machines. Ie more than one NIC. Sometimes, if the routing has changed an

Alex I hate restores that don't go as fast as I want them to, especially when it's 3 o'clock in the morning, so I'll have a stab at what might be wrong. The nature of your problem does seem very intermittent and the fact that some times you do achieve an acceptable speed makes it difficult. First

One additional point to the proprietary nature of the database. It is my understanding that a large consideration for the design of the database, is down to TSM's random access storage pools and the ability of the database technology to employ 'bit vectors' to track the location of allocated and f
