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

Hello all,
After client node system disk failure the system administrator change
the failure disk, install the OS and makes a manual backup of the client
(same node name and IP as before).
Now, I search for old data (before disk failure), and no data were
found.

When posting, provide basic information such as platform type.
If this was Windows, perhaps the disk letter changed.
Is your client options file exactly the same as before?
Perform 'dsmc query filespace' as your starting point toward checking
what's in TSM server storage.

I have my copypools set up to deliver most data to FILE device storage
pools. I used to use DISK, but FILE seems to replace DISK in many ways, so
I'm using that for a new server.
Alas, during backups, my consoles get over run with ANR8340I, 0511I, and
0514I messages

Hello,
Regarding to client platform, it runs IRIX 6.5 and TSM Server is an AIX 5.2.2

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

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

Start dsmserv in console mode. Shut TSM down and start it with
'dsmserv' from the shell or a command prompt. You now hav

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.

I looked into everything I could, and didn't find anything useful.
Dsmcad is no longer managing the scheduler, and that seems to make the
problem go away.
This one goes on my list of known issues that I hope to resolve and
document in the future.

FWIW, I don't like a N days/N versions strategy. It can have unexpected
side effects.
N Days/unlimited versions has more predictable behaviour and also is more
efficient at expiry time.

Hello all,
We have a customer with a NetApp Filer they want to back up to our TSM system.
For various reasons, we can't support using NDMP in our environment. Does
anyone out there currently do backups of a Filer without using NDMP? If so,
what method did you employ?
Thank you,

Michael,
I have two ideas about your problem.
Idea 1. Create another domain for your high priority servers, with the 7
day retention period. Move the nodes into this domain. Create new nodes
for these machines in the old domain with different names. For machines

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:

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

Our Storage Team is migrating all filesystems from one Celerra NAS

Hi,
I had a TSM Environment like this:

The Problem is that the tape cartridge (LTO3), can only fill with capacity

You are probably writing data that is already compressed or
data that just doesn't compress much.
One other thing, "query devclass ltoclass f=d"
and see if "format" is ULTRIUM3C. If no "C" on the end
then is not compressing on drive is problem.
