Geoff, (long time no see... been snowed under but coming up for air) One thing I've notices is that if you have tapes being ejected AND tapes to be inserted... Once you remove all the tapes, you really need to swing the I/O station door closed so the ATL can realize that all the tapes were in

I remember seeing something like this before... (~like~) OK, so by your log, the client rolled straight to tape at some point (probably because the disk pool filled or got full enough to where the preallocation couldn't be made). What is the maxnummp for your client? In the past there was somethin

If you have multiple TSM servers, just backup to a flat file and push the db backup to your other TSM server.

Typically in the AIX TSM server environments (can't speak for the others) it will use empty scratch volumes in the order they ~became~ empty/scratch be that from all the data expiring on it, reclamation, or checking into the library so if you had a "brand new tape" you specifically wanted used, you

How long ago and how active is the old system???

I've not used image backups on windows machines but by looking at the names, I'm thinking those might be image backups... did you specify OBJTYPE=IMAGE ? If they are regular files, you could use an admin account with full rights, that would show them to you. And you might try adjusting your query

It isn't the backup that will kill you, it is the restore... Trust me... if you have over 1.5 Million files in a mount point, expect weeks or months to perform a full restore. Remember, just because you can put 20 million files in a mount point doesn't mean it is a good idea... discourage that at

Simply activate client encryption. The data will be encrypted at the client before it is sent to the server; from that point forward, it will be encrypted no matter where it resides in TSM server storage / media. If you generate a backup set on portable media readable to the client, the data will
