Re: Repeat backups of the same WinXP system files every day

A software bug in Windows XP or TSM? Seems like Windows XP is "touching" those files therefore making TSM assume they have been modified in some secret strange way. If that's the case, put them in the exclude list. - Tom Walker -Original Message- From: Lawson, Jerry W (ETSD, IT) [mailto:

SQL to find # of mounts for tapes?

2002-09-20 Thread Walker, Thomas
Hi there, I need the gurus help on this. I know my 3494 library keeps track of how many mounts each 3590 tape endures, but I was wondering if there was a way through tsm to find that out as well, most likely I assume through TSM/SQL. I'm looking for: Number of mounts for each tape Number of writ

SSH is a much better way to talk remotely with a unix based machine. Everything (including your login id and password) is encrypted. Plus the SSH suite includes sftp with is ftp without the clear text passwords flying around the internet. Also, I believe that the newer versions of TSM have 128 bit

It's the time elapsed when data was actually being transferred. Is the case below, it looks like there is a lot of time when either the client or the server was doing something else besides transferring data during the event. - Tom Walker -Original Message- From: Wholey, Joseph (TGA\MLO

Re: DISASTER Client Restores Slow

2002-05-17 Thread Walker, Thomas
And using another backup solution won't result in many tape mounts as well? TSM might be more mounts than others, but you only have to do one restore. Remember, not using incremental forever means that you must resotre a machine at least two times. How about using backup sets if time is that much

So how many time do you transfer the file across the network before you compress it? Why not just keep the file on the unix server the whole time? Pretty flashy winzip is slow and doesn't compress as much as gzip either. -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE

You won't usually get a reliable result from e2fsck without unmounting the filesystem first. Since's it appears that this is the /home partition, maybe you should logout all normal users and umount /home and rerun e2fsck to make sure there REALLY are no errors on the filesystem. ReiserFS works bea

rsh is pretty similiar to rexec. The main difference is that rexec uses $HOME/.netrc to determine access and rsh uses $HOME/.rhosts The command would be rsh server1 Just like rexec. A sample .rhosts file would be server1 user1 server2 user2 and so on. If you run SP you can kerberize your u

No there isn't as far as I know. However, running collocation is a good idea in my opinion. Restores used to be a nightmare with up to 50 mounts! Transfer 100k of data, switch tapes, transfer 5k of data . . . etc. It was nearly useless! Once we started collocation, mounts dropped considerably some
