Hi
In the case of a simple filesystem backup (BA), set the RESOURCEUTILIZATION
parameter in the client dsm.opt/sys file to allow for multiple mounts and set
the MAXIMUM MOUNT POINTS (maxnummp) in the Node config to allow for how many
drives you want to let them use.
I tend to set it like
Thank you
Hi,
Can a TSM client (BA or TDP) be configured to use multiple tape drives
concurrently? A filesystem with tens of Terabytes of incremental data
should be backed up which evidently takes lots of hours with a single LTO4
drive. Say there are enough ports/paths/ISLs available to support at least
two
Yes it can, if it is just one filesystem you will have to manually split it
in the TSM BA configuration but this can also be done.
I am not sure if it is going to be faster than a backup via disk, that will
depend on the size and the amount of the files to be backed up I think.
How many files are
The problem is that changes are not gradual. Files are actually monthly
backups coming from other backup software like Acronis, BackupExec and even
native MS SQL backup files (yes, it is weird!) . I don't think journal
could help a lot, because there are not many files, but some large ones.
