Re: Windows 2008 client ..TSM schedule won't run

On Windows, the real details of the client configuration is comprised of: 1) The information in dsm.opt 2) The information stored in the services config and returned by 'dsmcutil list' and 'dsmcutil query /name:"service name"'. 3) Other registry stuff. 4) Unknown magic windows security stuff. 5)

Re: disabe/enable a sched via command line

Occasionally on a friday we'd get a request to skip some backups over the weekend. If you set the start date for the schedule to Monday's date, you accomplish no backups running over the weekend, and you don't have to remember to do anything on Monday to get the schedule working again. If you w

Re: System requirements

With many of the bundled installers, you can use something like 7-Zip to list the contents of the bundle. If 7-Zip lists some fo the contents, but returns an error, you can generally trust that something is wrong with the downloaded file. Thanks, [RC] george.huebsch...@gmail.com Sent by:

Re: million files backup

I find that "incrbydate" is often a win in making the first pass across a filesystem with a large count of files to be backed up. Doing a "dirsonly" pass is sometimes a win as well. Thanks, [RC] jorgea...@hotmail.com Sent by: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 02/02/2012 06:37 AM Please respond to ADSM-

Re: Isilon backup

There was code around for a while, that compiled on Solaris, and could understand NetApp's (essentialy) ufsdump format. With this you could read an NDMP backup. Skip foward a few years: Avamar's NDMP accelerator (a Linux box running custom code) can take in an NDMP stream from a Celerra and ou

File integrity check during reclamation?

Has anyone seen any documentation from Tivoli, stating that a file integrity check (or CRC check) is performed during the reclamation process? (In an LTO-4 pool in this case, on TSM 5.5 on AIX.) Thanks, [RC] If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have r

Re: TSM 5.5 : NAS share folder backup from TSM client

If you haven't already done so, I advise you setup a script to mount the share and run the backup. If this script is 100% successful, then you can look at whether the service is gaining access to the share with the permissions you expect. I've seen situations where the static mount doesn't have

Re: Cryptic tsm error message, not sure what to do with it.

The last time I saw one of these warnings, the file mentioned was being included via VSS in the system state backup, but there was a problem with the path or file name in the key entry in the registry. (I don't remember if there was an extra space, or an extra backslash in there.) If you use r

Re: AIX vs Linux 2012

There was an embarassingly bad TCP window size scaling bug in RHEL 5.4. It wasn't acknowledged in any way by RedHat, until late in 5.5, and wasn't fixed until 5.6. I faced long and continued skepticism from the network people, and the Linux admins, that such a bug could exist in a RHEL release,
