Robert, After verifying that you are performing log backups with "/TRUNCate=Yes" (the default is Yes), make sure that the log backups are succeeding by looking at the Data Protection for SQL Log file. If they are succeeding, then here are a few other things to look at: Is the log backup size also

Good point. You aren't going to do any major restores over that WAN. Plan on keeping a spare SERVER box at your TSM site. If the remote site crashes, recover it to the spare locally, and then overnite the box! -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On B

Both full and filling are being reclaimed. I have found that because I have local tapes with errors on them, to reclaim some of my offsite copypool tapes, I pull in the copypool tapes that 'will not finish reclaiming' (less than 3% or so), check them in, and do a 'move data' on them. They turn in

If you intend to juggle include/exclude lists around, then I definitely do not recommend that; use two different nodes, each with its own options file, instead. Also, your include statements need '\...\*' at the end of them. However, an alternate suggestion: - For the daily backups, why not defin
