The client is 7.1 but our servers are still at 6.3. Also I had to switch to a storage server that does not have dedup on it as that slows the WAN transfer way down (I only get about 20% network utilization when data is being deduped, regardless of the RESOURCEUTILIZATION setting). I am also

I have been watching an initial TSM backup running for a long time now over a WAN connection (100mbit/sec) and I keep seeing "compressed data grew" followed by a "Retry". Does this mean that for every file that compression increased the size (even 1%) the whole transfer is discarded and it

Strange TSM for VE error

I am running TSM for VE 7.1.4.1 on WIndows 2008 and it has been OK until about 2 weeks ago. Since then every night the backup job (should be over 100 VM's) just kind of aborts without logging success or failure. The only errors in the logs are these (which don't appear in any Google searches)

I am getting this error on three different TSM for VE VBS servers today. Waiting 60 minutes for each VM is causing the schedule to run into the next days schedule (the job runs for over 24 hours). I have to stop and restart the service to snap it out of this mode and hope the next backup runs OK.

I am seeing very poor WAN performance on all of my (wan based) TSM backups. Due to the latency (40 msec typical) I normally only get about 20% of the available bandwidth used by a TSM backup. With EMC Networker I get over 90% utilization. I have already set all of these recommended options:

I have a number of data movers set up with Baclient 7.1.0 and TSM for VE 7.1.0 that are working OK but I wanted to update them to 7.1.1. The main reason is the many failures I get when it does not back up VM Templates (backup of templates is disabled but 7.1.0 still counts these as failures).
