Wow, good point, Andy: gotta have the same Service Pack level before trying a bare metal restore. But our whitepaper doesn't address that, because we don't (yet) help with full, bare-metal DR tests. We help with the 99% of systems you DON'T have time to do a DR test on, by random-sampling the

I was asked this question by one of our Netware admins. I could not find a simple answer. Can one of your Netware wizards help? The client is V5.5.1 We have talked about the somtech.ns1.vcu.edu node taking so long to backup. I just notice that the filespace type for most of the volumes are

Our biggest restore failure was for a small windows domain controller. It was not replicated and we were slightly backleveled on the client. When the vmware disk became corrupted, we had to rebuild the client list as we were not able to correctly restore the active directory. The moral is to

So, Bob, are you saying that your back-level TSM client failed to restore your Active Directory? Even though it backed it up OK? And was this a known problem with the TSM client? -- Lindsay Morris Principal www.tsmworks.com 919-403-8260 lind...@tsmworks.com On Dec 15, 2008, at Dec 15,

HSM for Windows.... but... but...

2008-12-15 Thread Wanda Prather
I have a TSM 5.5 Windows customer who would like to implement HSM to get aged windows files moved from expensive high-end storage to cheaper storage, and really old files moved to tape. Sounds like HSM to me. Their tape library can handle it, no problem. Problem is, most of those files are on

Justino, sounds like my robocopy suggestion. ...just that you use TSM instead of the robocopy tool. ;-) I suppose this is the best solution if your boss told you to do do the migration the professional way with TSM and not with some free of charge tools. :-) But you could use robocopy to check

I don't remember all of the details (it was in 2005). I think our client was probably 5.1.x or so and the domain controller was Windows 2003 Server. I believe the issue was that the tech upgraded from 2k to 2k3 and didn't update to a client with AD support. Bob -Original Message- From:

Richard Run a q content on the tape. You will see there are still a few files on it. As to why it has not been reclaimed, check your housekeeping for this pool, and also unavailable volumes. If you are running reclamations, it may be that there is a prerequisite tape that can't be used.
