2006-06-13 Thread Shawn Malone
I wanted to start a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of Journal Based Backups for Windows Servers. We currently run TSM 5.3 on an AIX platform and have a subset group who administer the TSM Clients on the windows servers. They have been hesitant to turn Journal Based Backups

In general, the first thing I would ask before recommending ANY new feature is, do you NEED the feature? Adding a new feature to a system means one more level of complexity, and thus one more area for things to go wrong. As a wise person once said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So... in the

migrate stg with duration set

2006-06-13 Thread Steven Bridge
Has anyone used the duration setting with a 'migrate stg' successfully ? I was assuming the migration would be cancelled when specified number of minutes was up ( or shortly thereafter ). I am finding it makes no difference at all. Running TSM 5.3.2.2 under AIX.

All, Thank you all for your comments. For the most part all of our backups and schedules complete in an acceptable time period. We do have some clients which run long and this is another reason that I thought I would look into JBB as maybe a solution. Shawn --- Andrew Raibeck [EMAIL

Many windows 2003 servers now days can scan one to two million files per hour. We don't use journaling until we get over five million files. I've seen the deeper the directory structure the longer it takes to scan Basically if all one million files are at the root of a drive it will scan much
