Ameerul,
Sometimes, if your data compresses well, you will get more on the tape than you expect.
Conversely, sometimes, if the data doesn't compress well you will get less.
TSM just reports how much it has written. You will be able to get it all back.

Hi all,
Wishes of all the ADSM-L Users

Hi Jack!
Before we started using ADSM we ran a backup application called ESM on our
MVS mainframe. It was one of the most sophisticated backup applications at
that time (1993). It was created by a company called Legent and later on
Legent was bought by Computer Associates. They relabeled it to
Ameerul, Steve is right. If you are using databases then all the null
blocks will be considered as no data and track of the same will be kept
rather than storing them too. This will help reduce the total size of the
database when being backed up. + whatever Steve has commented.
Dont worry, it'll
Hallo TSM'ers,
We are racking our brains to determine why several of our backups have
begun to fail intermittently with the error ANS1074W.

sunos 5.9, server version 5.2.2.3 on aix 5.2.0.0.

worth doing.

Thanks for the response!
Why bother? For the same reason that using TSM 'Incremental
Forever' approach makes sense. TSM, without co-location, has the same
problem you mentioned, about the fragmentation for restores. TSM already

In our case we were actually running TSM 5.1.6.4 (without Tapealert) on our
Production system. We stumbled upon the tapealert message by hooking up a
test 5.2.2.4 system to our 3584 library to see if it had the slow problem
reading our tapes. We were quite impressed to see the tape alert

As Richard S. says; you have to go back to the books.
Check TDP for Microsoft SQL Server Installation and User's guide pdf manual that
comes with the Installation CD. Appendix C tells you how to setup TDP using Central
Scheduler.
If you are doing log backup remember to change SQL recovery mode
Given that TSM has TDP for many databases and that TDP can do
incremental backups at the record level. What are the thoughts
for using TDB vs. using FlashCopy on an ESS/Shark? The FlashCopy

database could be mounted to a secondary server

For the time it takes for tapes to return from pending when the

with a view to returning them to scratch once every hour, from the time
the server was started.

I am not an expert in this area, but I think there are several issues
involved.
FlashCopy is taking a physical image of the VOLUME(s) involved.
The Data Base manager doesn't know you're doing it.
SO while it's easy and low cost to do the FlashCopy (it's pretty much an
outboard hardware process),
To add to what Wanda is saying:
When a FlashCopy is initiated, the DB/Mail server that you are flashing should be
quiesced prior to the FlashCopy being initiated.
FlashCopy can also be expensive.
