You must have a copy pool? If you have a copy pool, when TSM runs AUDIT, it just marks the files as damaged and doesn't delete them from the data base (that would invalidate the copies in the copy pool as well.) You need to repair the problem by running the RESTORE STGPOOL poolname. The first t

You can't destroy dltpool without destroying any copies of the data that are in your copypool. Essentially, if you have a backup of a file in a primay pool, and you cause the db entry for that file to be deleted, it also deletes the record of that file that is in the copy pool. However, you DON"T

I don't know why you are having the overall problem, but there is also a problem in your specification. Periods are treated just like any other character, not a wild card. So when you specify: INCLUDE DATA:\USERS\...\*.* you are telling TSM to match filenames that have at least one . in the name

RMAN is the Oracle backup utility. You can set it up and use it without any interaction with TSM. Think of it is a backup product that can back up to local tape or disk. When you add the TSM TDP, it just sort of makes TSM look like a funky tape driver to RMAN. YOu still run your backups and re

However, if you have high-capacity tape, you don't have to spend a whole tape for each node. You can control the tape use by setting a MAXSCRATCH value for the tape pool. For example, if you have 200 clients to back up and you set MAXSCRATCH to 100, TSM will put two clients on each tape. You ge
