Restoring tdp to alternate server
I had a Windows 2012 sql server crash. After restoring the drives, I did not have the sql database files show up. I checked the backup and no mdf or log files were backed up using the TSM client. I am now trying to restore the crashed server sql database files from the tdp for tsm to another server. I followed the user manual and copied the dsm.opt file from the sql folder to the alternate server. I opened up the MMC and the config files are showing up with the info from the server I want to restore. When I try to view the sql databases, I only see the sql databases that are on the current server. What am I doing wrong? Crashed Server is Windows 2012 SQL DB is windows 2012 tdp for sql on the crashed server was 6.4.x I am doing all legacy backups. On the server I am trying to restore to it has TDP for TSM 7.1.x.

Re: question about command line backup syntax
Hello Andy Thank You for the information. I will use your suggestion. Regards Michael Devenney -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Andrew Raibeck Sent: November-04-15 11:25 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] question about command line backup syntax Hi Michael, You can only use wildcard characters on the file name portion of a backup specification; not directories. One approach, as others have mentioned, is to use INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements to handle this. For example, you could add these to the dsm.opt file: include D:\Folders\...\* exclude D:\Folders\* exclude.dir D:\Folders\[$0-9b-z]* and then back up like this: dsmc incremental D:\Folders\ -subdir=yes The exclude.dir statement will prevent traversal and backup of all directories immediately below D:\Folders with names that begin wtih '$', the digits 0 - 9, and the letters b - z. If this directory happens to have subdirectories that begin with characters I did not mention, then you can just add them to the character class between the '[' and ']'. The exclude statement for D:\Folders\* will prevent backup of file objects that live directly in the D:\Folders directory, e.g., D:\Folders \somefile.txt. The include statement will process all files and directories in D:\Folders except for the ones excluded as above.

Backing up large folder
I am running TSM 6.3.5.0 on Windows 2008 R2. I have a Windows 2008 R2 file server that has a 4.3 TB user homedir folder. It is currently taking 22 hours to back it up.

I set the resource utilization to 10 and I updated the TSM client to 7.1.3.0. This folder is on a Drive that is located on our SAN.

I need to recover a single user's mailbox from August 17th 2012. When I try this through the TDP GUI (I select the user's name from the list and enter in the time and date to restore from as August 17 2012 at 8:00pm), I get the following error: ACN5924E No usable backups found on the TSM server. I checked the log from August 17th 2012 and the Exchange databases backed up successfully. Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening and how to fix it? I tried to research the error and found basically nothing. Thanks Michael Devenney CNE, MCP, A+, Server+ Service Administrator River East Transcona School Division 589 Roch Street Winnipeg, Mb.
