I have a question that I hope those using TSM to back up direct to tape can answer. We don't, and never have, done this here and I'm not looking to implement it either. I am really looking for information as to "what happens to the backup" is a tape error occurs. (I just know I'm going to get this question when the dba's who have convinced everyone netbackup and direct to tape is so great) I am interested too if the TSM agents have the ability to compensate for this compared to a standard client backup. Will the agent take this into consideration and continue the backup with a different tape or will it die? The same question applies to the standard backup.
Thanks for your help. Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft Sr. Systems Administrator SAIC M/S-G1b (858)826-4062 (office) (858)412-9883 (blackberry) Email: [email protected]
