Ashish, Changing the serialization parameter in your backup copygroup definition from shrstatic or static to shrdynamic or dynamic will force TSM to backup open files; HOWEVER, there is no guarantee that you will be able to make use of the backed up open files in the case of restore.
You should NOT backup exchange with the regular Baclient. You could make of use of Tivoli Data Protection for Exchange or FastBack to backup Exchange. Both products require a license. Look at the following site for TDP for Exchange http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp under Storage Manager for Mail >> Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server Installation BERTAUT TCHUISE TSM/NetApp Storage Administrator Legg Mason Technology Services *410-580-7032 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ashish sharma Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] How to backup open log files in exchange Hello all, I have to configure TSM backup for Microsoft exchange server.The problem is that TSM BAC client is unable to backup open files and the mail admin requires these files to be backed up anyway.According to him, all log files , whcih are always open are needed for recovery.So , my question is that , do we have anyway through which we can backup open files in exchange?
