Re: TSM vs CommVault

As a current CommVault administrator who administered and handled architecture for a Tivoli environment for 8 years, I can vouch for everything Wanda says here. I would also add that their documentation and support pales in comparison to IBM. I find their support pretty difficult to deal with, an

Re: TSM vs Avamar

Some Avamar wisdom I've collected from customers of ours: If you're image-heavy, the de-dupe feature won't help you much You can use smaller pipes for backup because of the de-duplication. But beware: if you have to do a FULL recovery, as opposed to a single- file restore, you'll need to move more

Re: TSM vs Avamar

Wow, great info everyone. The last note you put in there about there not having an archive solution. I can't remember the details now, but the sales guy said there was some kind of archive feature involving VMware. Something along the lines of creating a standard VM with the archive data or somet

Re: TSM vs Avamar

Shawn, I have found it very important when working with EMC (or any vendor, really) to very carefully verify everything they say, or ask to have it explained so you understand it thoroughly. I don't mean to imply that they lie about anything, but I have frequently seem them exaggerate their cla

TSM B/A Client and EMC Replication Manager

We've had an interesting VSS-related problem when attempting to take TimeFinder/Snap backups of a SQL Server database concurrently with a TSM file system backup. However I suspect this could potentially affect anyone using a combination of hardware and software providers in VSS. In our scenario we

I think, and I may be wrong, that the desired response was along the lines of validating the articles in the links, or giving an opinion on Dedup itself. However, I think Allen's opinion of the requester is based on the recent "Disaster Recovery" thread, where apparently, being pointed to the docs

Managing TSM Schedules
