Windows Storage Server 2008

Looking at the support site, I see that Windows 2008 (all editions) is supported as a client platform. Does "(all editions)" mean Windows Storage Server? We'd like to put a TSM client on our NAS box if it's supported. Steve STEPHEN J STACKWICK | Consultant | 410.539.1135 | sstackw...@icfi.c

Re: tsm tdp oracle rman backups

Grigori, Don't you mean RMAN "recovery window"? Redundancy means how many backup versions RMAN will keep, recovery window means for how many days back. And I don't think RETAIN EXTRA does much for you, since each version is unique from RMAN (i.e, they're all named differently). AFAIK, the only po

The doc for IMPORT NODE claims that MERGEFILESPACES cannot be used unless you're doing a server2server import. This seemed to be a distinct bummer for me, so I decided the doc was wrong and to try it anyway using a media EXPORT and IMPORT. No complaints, it seemed like it merged the filespaces OK.

Re: TSM for SYS-back & Recovery!!

Sysback works great and is cheap, too! Not only can you create backups and boot and restore from standalone media, but it also integrates with your NIM server. And if THAT's not enough for a posting on a TSM listserv, you can send your sysback backups to TSM to store, and restore from there, too.
