Hello Smer's
Can anyone tell me about backing up raw logical volumes with Image
Backup on the 4.2 and above clients? Can you specify a particular
file/database/ or whatever, OR do you have to back up all as in a
backupset? And, if so, where can I get some info. on all this?
Thanks again in advance

Per my correspondence with Tivoli Support a normal incremental backup will
not backup a raw logical volume. However, there is an Image Backup that can
be used to backup a raw lv

No. Incremental will not backup raw logical volumes.

I had read about the logical volume backup on the web but I'm not wanting
to do a special backup. Currently, we backup all our filesystems with a
nightly incr backup. Due to an oracle problem we want to change one of the
filesystems to be a raw device and I just want to ensure our night backup
will pick up the raw device.

Deborah,
The backup of raw logical volume can be taken by running dsmc incremental
/file_system name or can run dsmc backup image /dev/lv01 to backup
/dev/lv01 logical volume.
You can find additional information on backing up the raw logical volume in
the TSM Backup/Archive Client documentation. Here is part of that
information.
Image (Raw Logical Volume) Backup
Root User
>From your local workstation, TSM enables you to back up an entire file
system or raw
logical volume as a single object. TSM views this as an image (or raw
logical volume)
backup. An image backup can be useful if you want to do any of the
following:
Improve the speed with which TSM restores file systems containing many
small
files.
Conserve resources on the server during backups since only one entry
is required
for the image.
Provide a point-in-time picture of your file system, which may be
useful if your
enterprise needs to recall that information. For special
considerations regarding
point-in-time restores, see Backup Image.
Provide a picture of your file system unrelated to point-in-time.
Restore a file system or raw logical volume that has been corrupted.
Data will be
restored to the same state it was when the last logical volume backup
was
performed.
Image backup is supported on AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX.
Thank you.
Jaynie.
