Re: restore server question

You are lost. There has been discussion about this, but basically there are no pointers to where the stuff is on the tapes without the database backup to restore from. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Specialist Naptheon, INC 757-688-8180 -Original Message- From: Tony W [mailto:[EMAIL PROTE

Re: Exchange file performance

Exchange is not a file level backup. It is more like a database unload. The Microsoft Exchange Backup API is only designed for 30GB/hr. Funny, that figures out to 8.33MB/sec. However, on much faster servers with FC disk I have seen a little faster than this. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Special

Re: TSM Server Recovery

Right off, I can see the big/little endian issue with the data stored in the database. So, I will have to go with Tivoli Support on this NO! But, some combinations may work. There are many flavors of big/little endian. Read this website: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/big_endian.html Paul

Share Requirement? Rebind command, what do you think?

The problem below goes further than just TDP for SQL. It looks like everyone needs that brute force command to expire a backup, particularly to cleanup a mistake, or to change a single database backup to have a long retention after the fact. I am going to try to put together a Share requirement

Re: checkin & label scratch volumes

You have to write an internal label on each tape once. So, the latter is the only valid command. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Specialist Naptheon, INC 757-688-8180 -Original Message- From: Robert Ouzen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 7:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTE

Re: Client Archive Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly

Zlatko, I am so tired of hearing about this. You "hit the nail on the head" as we say in the USA. Let me see if I can put some sense of reality into this once and for all. In the mainframe days we designed applications to have cycles of processing where you could roll all the data up and recove

Re: migrate db

My recommendation would be to setup the NT server and start sending all the backups there. Pick a number of days after the cutover to just discard the AIX machine and all the data. Dumb Management usually likes dumb answers like this. Zlatko, I like DaMagement, guess that is the short form of D

Re: Ordering client licenses

You are stuck on the purchase versus lease issue unless you can get someone to finance the money and then turn the code over to you at the end of the lease. However, there is no difference on the Windows NT and Windows 2000. Do not know how that got injected in the equation. A Passport Advantage

SAP LAN Free Restore Spins Only ONE Tape at a Time

We are trying to do LAN free with SAP and having trouble getting it to spin more than one tape at a time. We specified 3 sessions, no multiplexing. For some reason backint thinks it can only restore from one drive at a time even when all required tapes are mounted. Backup works fine. Restore o

Re: General TSM Q's

Are you backing your database up regularly? If not, that is probably why you are not complaining yet. If you lose the database, the data on the tapes is inaccessible. My databases is about 15M pages and has never had an unload/load performed to reorg it. I plan on doing it soon. The estimate

Re: AIX Oracle Snapshots

We do it with Oracle down all the time. It is called a cold or offline backup depending on your terminology. We also do our own online unload to flat files (Begin Backup, unload, End Backup), but this is a small database with only a few tables. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Specialist Naptheon, I
