hello all out there,
�
BMR related questions seem to repeat periodically
and good solutions are not obvious.
�
I would like to share�results of my trivial search after tools for TSM
related BMR of W2000:
�
�
- virtually no support in current TSM clients, if any
�
- rumours about BMR (either additional functionality or additional
module$$) in the next version of TSM,
maybe adoption of the Kernel Group�s solution, maybe Tivoli�s own
solution.
�
- currently available BMR from Kernel group looks good,
its limitation could be its high costs,
and for some of us the necessity to install an additional unix-based
BMR-server applikation.
�
- there is currently available BMR solutions in different simpler backup
packages (not TSMM-related).
I gave a look to Pc-Bax from Cristie, Germany, because I know older
versions
of this simple but good backup program, and I liked the support as well.
�
They currently do have a usefull BMR module but without TSM
connectivity.
They had TSM-conectivity in the past and they claim to offer this module
soon again.
�
They are much cheaper than the solution from Kernel Group.
�
�
For those interested I will likely test this in january or february,
but I currently do not know more details,
so please if you have questions do contact� [EMAIL PROTECTED]��
http://www.cristie.com
�
I posted his name here with allowance from Mr. Svensson / Sweeden
who implemented mixed scenario of Pc-Bax and TSM.
His solutions is shortly desribed further, in appended�copy of his mail.

Subject: TSM and PC-BaX
Dear Mr. Salak!
I have now work with both TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) and Legato
NetWorker and found a small solution for are customer here in Sweden
there they use PC-BaX ass a BMR. (Bare Metal Recovery).
Right now PC-BaX dose�nt have support to backup directly to TSM Server.
But we have talk to Tivoli and to Cristie in UK and we going to get a
TSM Module shortly.
But the work around right now looking like this.
1) TSM takes backup on D:, E: and et c.
2) PC-BaX takes backup on C: every Sunday or more often. But you back up
to a Virtuel Tape Drive (VTD file) on a Virtuel hardisk Space on the
network. For exaple a NAS Server.
3) And the TSM is back up the VTD files so you got 2 or more generation.
But how is the Recovery works?
1) You run a normal PC-BaX DR (Disaster Recovery) and after that PC-BaX
is automaticloy starts TSM restore or the TSM Client.
How do I configur PC-BaX to do this.
1) Mr. Tillmann can help you to configure the PC-BaX disketts.
2a) You create one CMD file in to the PC-BaX directory with name TSM.CMD
2b) Edit the CMD file and type in
@Echo Off
CD \
CD "Program Files\TSM"
Net start "TSM Client Acceptor"
Net start "TSM Scheduler"
DSMC restore \\servername\d$\path\path\* �-subdir=yes
3) And edit CBM.INI and insert this too linje in the bottom.
[DR Options]
PostDRCommand = TSM.cmd
If you need any help with PC-BaX please take contact with Mr. Tillmann
on Cristie Germany or me.
My mobile nr is below.
Med V�nliga H�lsningar / Best Regards
Christian Svensson

Dear sir,
I have got your address from mr. Tillmann.
I�d like to check the feasibility and sensiblity of following scenario:
- we will in short use TSM as our primary and centralized backup system.
The native TSM backup client is splendid for incremental backup and
restores of limited file areas.
Backup/restore in sense of temporary storage space
and in the sense of bare metal recovery of operating system (BMR)
is traditionaly better serverd by simple classical
backup systems, like pc-bax.
- I would like to combine strengths of both systems,
using pc-bax for certain tasks like BMR
while saving data in automatically managed storage pools of TSM.
Can you make a statement about this aim?
best regards
