Should CBT be enabled before using TSM for VE to save space?

Hi there, I've read here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21608413 that TSM for VE is using content-aware backup, if CBT is enabled. It also says that TSM for VE will enable CBT after the first backup. So I'm wondering if enabling CBT before performing the first backup would make

Sounds like you are having tape library problems. A defective tape drive, where a tape won't eject properly, is a common cause of Unavailable, as is a bad gripper dropping a tape inside the library. A tape drive which can't read or write properly will rapidly cause tapes to be forced read-only,

If your VM's were created in VSphere 5, CBT will be on by default. My understanding is that either way (starting with CBT on or off), you should only get USED space on the first backup. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Michael

You may be able to run diagnostics to try to get information on what's going on. Definitely inspect OS logs and the TSM Activity Log for any details on the error condition. Also, verify that your drive and library firmware levels are at an appropriate version: replacement drives may come with

Hi Steve, With Exchange 2010, especially when set up in a Database Availability Group (DAG), the log truncation can be delayed because Exchange must make sure all log updates are sent and committed in all copies (active and passive) before it truncates the logs. A backup product (like TSM)
