Multisession image backup?

Hi, In an effort to reduce the time it takes to image backup our 1.7TB fileserver to one LTO2 drive (currently 8-10 hours) I considered the possibility ot multi-threaded image backups, but looking through the manuals I can't find any reference to this behaviour. Can someone please confirm that th

Del has suggested in the past that instead of using different nodenames for the daily and monthly backups, to run the monthly backups using the COPY type of backup. "TDPEXCC BACKUP * COPY ..." and then in your dsm.opt file use an include for the COPY objects to a management class with the correct

Storage Pool Backup Issue

Hello Everyone! I have an issue of drive shortage and I would like to cascade my backup jobs of my storage pools. I know that you first want to make the disk to offsite tape copy and then the onsite tape to offsite tape copy for each storage pool. My question is, how do I combine all 14 jobs in

With 6 scripts , you could end up with up to 6 processes each backing up "onsite tape to offsite tape"..requiring 12 drives!, you would also end up with several offsite tapes. Bill Steve Schaub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" 29/06/2005 16:12 Please respond

Re: Storage Pool Backup Issue

Do you have the opportunity to use a scheduler that can track resource use? We use a set of ^M scheduled jobs using a resource count and pool. ^M will feed in stgpool backup jobs according to how many drives they will want and how many are free. It's the best way so far we have found of maximizing

True - so what Joni needs is a script that uses 6 "streams" to backup the diskpools, then throttles back to 3 "streams" to do the tape to tape backup. -steve -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Dourado Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005

Joni, For each of your primary disk storage pools you will need a script that: - Backup stg disk -> copy maxproc=#drives wait=yes; - Backup stg tape -> copy maxproc=X wait=yes; - upd stg disk Hi=X lo=y. # start migration of that stg pool. This way you don't have the rest of your stgpool maintenan

Does the service run as the system account? If so make sure that it has access to the drive at the root. If the service account running the TSM scheduler service does not have access to the root of the drive it will not be added to the domain list and you will not get any errors.
