The logical error question has come up before. With no TSM managed copy pool you are perhaps at a slightly higher risk. An option is to still have a copy pool, but on the same DD. So little real disk usage, but some protection from a TSM logical error. That obviously does not protect you from

Re: Getting unix permissions back from TSM

This one has come up before. I'm pretty sure there isn't I'm afraid. Hi All One of my accounts has just had a unix admin tried to run something like chown -R something:something /home/fred/* but he had an extra space in there and ran it from the root directory chown -R

Re: electronic vaulting for archive

Hi Simple really. We have a seperate primary stgpool for archives (because if the much lower reclaim reqs), and the offsite is on a remote site with FC connectivity. On 14 September 2011 05:13, Mehdi Salehi ezzo...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Steven, would you please explain more how you vault

Re: electronic vaulting for archive

My definition of Electronic vaulting is using electronic means to transfer backup/archive data to your offsite repository. This is really regardless of what the target is. I currently electronically vault to both ProtecTIER and TS3500 libraries. So, in essence if your primary to copy stgpool is

Backupset encryption - quick question

Hi all I need to transport a backup set and need at least some basic encryption. Before I do a load of testing, I thought I'd ask the group Does anyone know if client side encryption include.encrypt works with backup sets, or rather, can you restore the stuff! I'll be restoring via a

Re: limit backup for big files

Is there any way to prevent b/a clients from backing up files bigger than a specific value in TSM? Say always files smaller than 10 MB are backed up. Not as far as I know. unless you wrap some logic around the backup to list/find the required files and then back them up. Steven

Re: TSM multi libraries in a single stgpool

Can TSM support having two libraries in a single stgpool? Looking to add another library but would to make sure it is used in tandem with our current library and not just sit there. Thank you, Vince Vince No you can't, it's one devclass in a stgpool and a devclass can only point to one

Re: HSM for database files!!

Is is technically feasible to put the tablespace of a database on an HSM-managed filesystem? For example, if there are some rarely-accesed huge tables, is it possible/feasible to define their tablespace(s) on a disk space that can be migrated to tape by HSM? Feasable, yes. Advisable, probably

Re: tsm and data domain

I have had DD implemented for about a year now, but I fail to understand why anyone would utilize the DD VTL license when using TSM? Mine are setup as a simple SAN device with defined directories that correspond to my TSM primary storage pools. I have the device calss in TSM set as the type

Re: tsm and data domain

We debated having a copy pool when doing our DD setup. We finally decided that using a daily DD snapshot was an acceptable solution. We take a Rick The problem with that is that you'd just be replicating a logical corruption. So unless you noticed it before your last snapshot expired, you
