Hi Fred, All files backed up in an Exchange VSS backup are part of a "group". The files in a "group" are all managed together. That means they expire together according to the management class of the "group" leader. And so... I think something else is going on here. In fact, Gary probably called

MS-SQL TDP log restore question

2009-10-08 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
My MS-SQL guy has the following question and was hoping some TDP experts can give us an answer, one way or the other: "We have an issue that may require physically looking through an old transaction log backup to see if we can find out some information about who is doing what in the database. Ho

I haven't done this myself, but I'd hazard a guess that if there's no standard way of doing it from the TDPSQL GUI (I don't have it in front of me, but I don't recall that there is...) the standard TSM BA Client might be a useful place to take a look if it's possible (configured to use the TDPSQL n

In performing backups, the SQL Server simply gives DP/SQL a stream of bytes. The DP/SQL code is not told which files these bytes are from, it is simply a stream of bytes. At restore time, DP/SQL hands the stream of bytes back to the SQL Server, and the SQL Server writes those bytes to files. Howev

Colin, Thank you VERY much for taking the time to give us this info. IC62978 may explain a lot of what I'm seeing, but I had not hit on it in my searches. BTW, can you tell me where to find the mentioned db2diag.log file on a Win2K3 server? If it's in there, I can't find it. I'll look forward to

Hi Wanda, You can issue DB2 command: db2 get dbm configuration Then, look for the DIAGPATH. That is where the db2diag.log resides. Diagnostic data directory path (DIAGPATH) = some direcotry name If the diagpath does not have any directory specified, like this. Diagnostic data directory path (D
