I haven’t used it for some years now, but the old Domino client used to store two entries for each client, one for the data and one for the permissions. It would probably go against the TSM (Hate the new name!) philosophy to store any client data in the database, but this case might be a reasonable exception.

The worst time was when 40 TB of data had to get backed up again because a system admin made a simple permission change at the root directory. I agree with you that since TSM now uses DB2 for its database, it should be able to handle storing permissions for Windows clients in the TSM database, just like it does for Linux clients. If you're willing to create an RFE, I'll vote for it! Mike Reese -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hans Christian Riksheim Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 7:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Non-DoD Source] [ADSM-L] Backup of file attributes Windows When our customers changes permissions on their file servers there is total chaos with new full backup of everything and no practical method to get rid of the extra backup data. I think our customers should be able to do this without paying twice as much for their backups. From what I have heard TSM couldn't just update these files because there is too much overhead keeping this information in the database. However in the meantime TSM has gone from the proprietary database in v5 to a full DB2 which should handle this well. It would be nice if IBM took a look at this problem and came up with a solution. Don't know if other TSM admins think this is an issue though. Hans Chr. Riksheim This message and any attachment is confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
