I have been reading the tome that came with our purchase of the agent for Microsoft
SQL server, and I have a couple of questions regarding setup:
1) The manual talks about meta objects and data objects. It states that meta objects
should only go to a disk pool. Am I correct in thinking that the meta objects are the
SQL databases that keep track of the actual backups? I take it if you lose these
you're done for?
2) What to meta objects look like? I took a look at the server where the agent is
supposed to reside and the two admins that run it were no help. What file extensions
do the meta objects have?
3) Also, I'm already running the TSM client on the machine, the latest and greatest
version 4.1.2.12 (and don't get me started about client versions and problems). How
does the regular client interact with the TDP agent?
Any other advice from folks out there who are already doing this would be greatly
appreciated.
Jack
