Remco PST files CAN be and have been larger. In the old days, even though Microsoft definitely recommended against allowing them to get larger than 2GB (because there were no repair tools) we would regularly see people with 2-4GB PST files. This is definitely an OUTLOOK version dependent

Zoltan Have you tried explicitly including each DFS share as a mount point? I've had to do something similar in the past, though I can't remember exactly whether I used the "DOMAIN" "INCLUDE" or BOTH statements. Sorry, that's my best effort - though I would like to hear about the solution you

2016-09-15 Thread Ryder, Michael S
Something doesn't make sense. You run a backup - node's data is stored in a pool on server A. Then, you protect pool, and a copy of the de-duped data is sent to the protect pool storage, also on server A. Then, you replnode, and a node is replicated to server B. You are surprised to find that

Just piping in here to lend support to TBMR - this has come in very handily, especially for the critical workstations we backup. Pop in the boot CD, answer a few prompts, and then off it goes, restoring directly from TSM/SP back to the local harddrive, along with the functionality to adjust for

You can take more control by setting up specific schedules to backup some VMs first. You might use VM folders to control that as well. Do you let VMs backup in parallel with "VMMAXParallel" ? It defaults to 1... You can also have multiple jobs running simultaneously. It's not clear to me, are
