Calculating Change in Backup Environment

2009-03-18 Thread Dennis, Melburn (IT Solutions US)
Currently, our backup environment employs a 90-day / 7 revision backup policy. My customer has come to me to find out how much our backup data would grow or shrink if we went to a 21-day / 21-revision backup policy. Have any of you out there experience requests like this before, and if so, how wer

Your filespace queries show that you definitely have filespaces in TSM server storage. If you now perform 'dsmc query backup - subdir=yes -inactive /usr3/' AS ROOT, that will report all the files out that exist in TSM server storage for that file system. (I would advise not using the GUI for ass

Hi All, we normally recommend 'not using TSM Compression' becaus the fantastic 3592-drives are doing the compression very well and fast. If users want to encrypt their data with the tsm-client I tend to recommend also using compression because data would be first get compressed and then get encr

Is it still true that the client side compression requires paging in the whole object before it can be compressed? Tying up 10GB of RAM and/or paging/swap space (or more in the case of larger objects) used to be a big enough concern to recommend against the practice. Especially on Windows where

Depending on your "Various Reasons" , you might still want to go with NDMP. If you don't want to use it because of a lack of SAN/Tape drives, you can still backup over IP to the normal storage pool hierarchy. In Chapter 7 of the Administrator's Guide, look at the section: "Performing NDMP Filer to

First, you aren't really doing what you think you're doing: providing the ability to restore data back to any point in the previous 90 days. You get seven days for a file that changes every day. Steve is right: should probably do something like verexists=unlimited and retextra=21. That way if
