My boss wants to know specifically the following questions so I thought I
would ask them here since it would take quite a bit longer to dig through
lots and lots of documentation.
When TSM makes a backup copy of a file (AIX and Windows), does it copy
all metadata (i.e. author, create date
TSM (and its specialized agents) copy everything that the operating
system knows about the file, including all the metadata you specify.

Does TSM store new metadata each time it backs up a file or does it only
keep one copy of the metadata per file.
I have a customer who is saying they backed up files on a linux box,
changed ownership of the files, backed them up again. Then he restored
the original versions of the file but got

Hi,
Is there any metadata of the exports stored in the TSM database?
If I want to export eg two clients A and B to the same volume (eg a tape vol001
that has enough space of course), can I specify twice the command:
export node A filedata=backupactive devclass=tape VOL=vol001
export node B

Hi,
Is there any metadata of the exports stored in the TSM database
is not in the TSM dictionary, but I'm just trying to be creative to
answer the customer wish list.

then you can delete the filespace from TSM,
which removes the metadata from the DB as well as getting the data out
of your tape library.
If your customer is just trying to create another backup copy at a point
in time, a BACKUPSET is more appropriate.
You can restore files from a backupset, without

Look at the server VOLHISTORY; export tapes are recorded there.
I believe you will find that if an EXPORT spills to a second tape, the
second tape is recorded as vol seq #2 of the export, not as an
independent tape
Hi All
I have the following dilemma..
We are using TDP for SQL version 2.2.1. We are backing up the data via the SAN
(LANFREE) using the storage agent.
The SQL metadata is going via the LAN to a diskpool on the TSM server. The backups all
go through well enough,
however when attempting

This volume is not offline. Also If i disable the LANFREE then I can retrieve the

Hi Del
The specific error we are getting is as follows:

can see the container files in the RELOCATE screen.
This is temporarily not a problem because I'll set up an include to send the
metadata to a non-migrating diskpool. Once we go to a SAN backup, is this
going to be a problem? According to the Storage Agent documentation, I

Conclusion - with this version of TDP SQL 2.2 I must have the metadata in
a
diskpool in order to RELOCATE the data during a restore. The query of

attempting a RELOCATE yields a blank window, with no files listed.
I haven't done anything to ensure the metadata stays in a disk pool, but I
don't believe that it would cause this error if it were on tape - it should
simply take longer to complete the command. Is that correct?
Any ideas how I can fix
