Rick, mmbackup is a GPFS command which will create a list of files to feed to the TSM dsmc command. It takes advantage of GPFS performance and scalability. You might also review the mmcrsnapshot command to consider integrating snapshots along with backups. as part of your recovery strategy. Much automation can be achieved through the use of GPFS policies and associated scripts - see mmapplypolicy command in the Information Lifecycle Management section of the GPFS Advanced Admin Guide.

In reading over the manual I find no mention of it, but searching IBM support there are plenty of docs which I just started reading. My question is what is the preferred way to do this amongst those who have dealt with it? Win 2008 with TSM Server 6.3 AIX 7.1 with BA client 6.3 All comments welcome.... Thanks ! ~Rick
