We do anticipate that the database will grow large due to lack of expiring data. This is the primary reason we want to keep this data separate from our production TSM servers. And yes, we will also have the requirement to continue backing up forward in time and not expiring any of the backup data. Keeping the data segregated leaves our options open more, too. Thanks for the comments. They're helpful. ..Paul At 11:25 AM 11/20/2006, Robin Sharpe wrote: Hey guys, I've been watching this thread for a few days now... We have been down this road. Still on it actually. The thing is, how diligent does your legal department want to be? Is a point in time export enough? In our case, we were directed to not only keep all backups that had been taken, but also to keep everything going forward. Reason being, there may be further discussions/data pertaining to the subject of litigation. As a result, we have not done an expiration in 2.5 years, and I have created new policy sets with unlimited retention for all parameters. As you might imagine, this has resulted in incredible tape consumption, since we cannot reclaim much (nothing from primary pools, and only the fractional part of secondaries that were sent offsite). We use new LTO2 tapes at a rate of about 100 per week. Also, our StorageTek L700 library has long since overflowed... it has 618 slots; we have well over 3500 tapes onsite (plus another 3500+ offsite). This has of course changed our nice automated environment into a much more manually intensive operation. Oh yeah, and our original TSM database grew to 529+GB, so I had to split it into four new ones... This is a problem that will not go away... we have had several other hold notices from legal since the original litigation, for additional unrelated issues. I don't think TSM is the best way to handle this kind of archiving. What they don't realize is, the immense operation that will be required to actually deliver this evidence if it is needed... think about it... you will have to restore all of the data tat you held, somewhere, so that it can be converted into a form that the court dictates. My guess is you will not be able to do this in your existing production environment and continue your regular operation... so that means a duplicate TSM environment, mail/file servers, plus personnel to operate it, then someone to convert it. We're talking about thousands of tapes - terabytes of data it will take a long time and a lot of dedicated hardware. Regards RS

The many arguments against a brick-level backup are well documented on this list. If you need to implement, read brickback.doc in the tdpexchange directory.

Oracle Backup
I stopped using the TSM Oracle Agent...very complicated...and am just doing full exports to a file server. TSM then backs up the export. Mgmt. says, Hey, you're not getting the full benefit of a backup with redo logs, etc. Please comment. Should I be using RMAN instead of export? TIA Regards, Orin Port of Houston
Active Directory bare metal restore
Can TSM perform bare metal restore of a Win2K active directory domain controller? If so, can you point me to information on how that is done? TIA Regards, Orin Rehorst
TSM remote copypool system possible?
Please comment. Is this idea doable? Have TSM on Windows box with tape library here at data center. Would like to place similar unit at remote site and have copypool kept there with data center tapes updating those at the remote site overnight. Com would be VPN using mapped network drive.

TSM for Oracle
Due to the complexity of using TSM for Oracle, management here is about ready to replace TSM altogether. Anyone know of a class available for this topic? BTW, IBM has a web page for such a course listed at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/tivoli/education/J104126F96394E48.html, but an IBM employee told me the course doesn't actually exist!

Offsite tape challenge
Worry...worry...worry...about disasters...terrorists...and recoveries. My bosses worry a lot, me likely not enough. Am storing copy pool offsite once a week. Box of tapes comes here, we update the copy pool, box goes back offsite. What about a daily? They don't want to bring the box back and forth every day...just place dailies in a building next door. But how might you manage that with TSM?
