Re: Multiple Backup Sets on one tape - (Was Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions)

Etienne, I am not sure whether the Netware client supports local device restore of backupsets. We certainly cannot do it with our backupsets which are written either on STK 9840 cartridges, or to file devices on disk. We restore direct across the network, and yes if you have large amounts of data

Hi Orville! Thanks for your reply! I actually installed 4.2.1.8, but for some reason 4.2.0.0 was started. A stop/start of TSM fixed this. I removed the nodelock file an re-registered all the licenses, but it still reports: Is Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager in use ?: Yes Is Tivoli Disaster Recov

Help! I need more space

Hi folks, I have a situation where our company has two backups systems, TSM being one of them. The 'other' backup system doesn't work for various reasons and we are planning to move the servers that backup to it to TSM. On the weekend that other system fell a part. Now I need to backup about

I have a similar but not as bad situation. 3575-L32 maxed out with about 60 tapes out of library and LTO coming in a month or so. The "MOVE MEDIA" command is used to move tapes out of library. You have to have your OPS folks on the ball as when one of those tapes is needed, there is a message

Re: Offsite Volume sort of missing.

Since there is data on the tape, you won't be able to check it in as Scratch, you'll have to do it as Private. Then you can check the tape out as normal. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.

I agree. The last time we needed to order more client licenses it was impossible to get someone from Tivoli to even talk to us. We wanted to spend money, but they wouldn't respond to emails or voice mails. I found this amazing! I had to get our local IBM storage rep to contact Tivoli before the

Re: Win2k Server Recovery using TSM 4.2.1.0

The redbook was written based on the 4.1.2 client. With the 4.2.1 client, as you mentioned, you are no longer prompted with the 3 questions mentioned. The error importing the RSM database is a bug in the client (APAR IC29545). This is supposed to be fixed in 4.2.2 and is also on the latest patch

WINNT GUI showing directory

Hi TSM-ers, is there any reason why the TSM GUI doesn't show the current directory it is working with? It's annoying not to know how far the backup process has come. I can remember versions of the GUI that showed the directory. Is there a future version that will show the directory name again?
