David, There are many factors that could slow a backup down. You should by trying to find out if this is a slow-down in the network, TSM Server, tape mount wait, SQL Server, etc. If you happen to be running Windows 2000 SP4, there is a known problem that causes SQL Server backups to slow down and

Dave, I find this to be a mix. That is, there are some customers backing their SQL databases to disk first, then migrating them to tape. There are other customers backing them up directly to tape. There is no "correct" answer, because it depends on your service level agreements, your TSM Server in

Yiannakis One thought... you should send the meta data to a disk only storage pool. These meta data objects are always very small (less than 100K)... and to put them to a tape is not good for performance. You do that by binding the meta objects to a management class that points to a disk only stor

Hi Joe, Did you get this straightened out yet? The data to back up is sent from the SQL server to Data Protection for SQL. And so, Data Protection for SQL does not "decide" what data to back up. The SQL Server determines this. It is strange that the SQL Enterprise Manager backup tool is acting dif

Henry, Make sure you have COMMTIMEOUT on the TSM Server set to a high enough number to accomodate any Exchange activity that may need to happen during backups. I would try setting COMMTIMEOUT to 600 to see if that helps. If that doesn't help... many times, "-50" errors mean there are network prob

Yiannakis RC=418 means there was a TSM API error. The DSIERROR.LOG file should have something that explains what the TSM API thought was the problem. Please look there. Also, look in the TSM Server activity log file to look for a message that might tell you what went wrong. RC=402 is the general
