Hello Joe, We have the same problem, just with a larger window. I do not know of a good solution from tsm, but if you hear of anything we would like to hear of it. We do not need for the backup to stop, but just to have almost no effect on a wan link during the day.
Andy I assume that you are the best person to answer this question. Would it be possible to have an tsm server command that could do one of the following. This command could then be issued by hand, or via an scheduler. - Put the backup session to sleep and later with a different command wake up. - Put a governor on the data transfer rate of the client with a command from the tsm server. Either a fixed rate, such as 16kps or a relative rate based on the link speed and usage. - A interface to work with the networking gear and qos that could keep the tsm traffic to an background priority level. Thanks much len -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Crnjanski Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 4:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] weird request for schedule Hello, I have a customer who wants to run backup only during specific time window; from 10pm to 4am. That means when backup starts at 10pm, and runs until 4am, and even if at 4am there are more files to be backed up, he wants backup to stop and to be rescheduled for next backup cycle. Any ideas appreciated. Joe Crnjanski Infinity Network Solutions Inc. Phone: 416-235-0931 x26 Fax: 416-235-0265 Web: www.infinitynetwork.com
