Re: Need some support for snapdiff RFE's

Grant, The time stamps are not updated, because a snapdiff incremental does not deactivate deleted files. You need to do periodic 'createnewbase' to do this, which walks the file system and updates the time stamps. ..Paul On Feb 14, 2012, at 12:32 AM, "Grant Street" wrote: > Hello > > Ju

The reason we use snapdiff is to avoid walking the file system. Running a periodic 'createnewbase' is just not going to happen. We're just stuck with no time stamp. - Margaret Clark -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Zarno

4GB of memory for a DB2 based server install? The specs call for a minimum of 8GB and usually 16GB is preferred/suggested. I have one Linux server running V6.2.3 with 8GB and it is an offsite DR type server that houses nothing but DBSnapshot backups. No production machine is less than 16GB and my

Actually this really isn't correct, a snapshot differential backup will detect deleted files and will expire them on the TSM server. Periodic full progressive incremental backups are recommended because "less complete" backups such as snapdiff, incremental by date, and JBB can never be as comprehe

Hi Gary, It depends on the TSM version of the client : - Linuxx86 client is 32 bits only up to version 6.2. Note there are 2 API packages, on is 32 bits (TIVsm-API) while other on is 64 bits (TIVsm-API64). - Linuxx86 client is 64 bits only from version 6.3. - Mail original - De: "Gary L

You didn't mention what version of windows you are running - As I found out 6.3 is not supported on Server 2003 x64 , and generated a lot of problems, has to be 2008 x64 or higher. Also there is a issue where 6x pre req checker does not properly check the version of windows. http://www.ibm.com/

The reason I raised the RFE was that, to me, anything less than certainty is an incomplete backup If I need to do a regular full JIC then that, is a lack of certainty. So I suggested the following 1. For "Include/exclude changes", "delete backup" or "policy changes" to force a create new ba
