Providing that moving to the use of DIRMC doesn't cause more problems than

Is there enough of a benefit to warrant altering an existing configuration?

Something to keep in mind for compression. In areas with limited bandwidth
the compression of files can speed up your backups considerably. The
drawback, which I have encountered and just have to deal with, is that when
compression increases the size of the file it is not sent.
That is good,
Off-hand, I'm not sure that the problem is directly related to DIRMC per
se, though if you are specifying a management class for DIRMC where
directories could expire before files in those directories expire, this
could be the case.
Here is a link to a prior post I made related to the subject of

Flemming,
If you try to recompress a file it will grow in size on you plus over work your CPU,
the TSM client is smart enough to know the difference between a file that's already
compressed and one that is not.
COMPRESSION YES
COMPRESSALWAYS NO (Always!)
Also, if compression is set to yes,
DIRMC makes it , for example,
possible to keep directories in dedicated primary disk pool.
Provided there are no new bugs related to DIRMC
this brings significant speed gain during restore of directory trees.
So, unless you are backing large files / large amount of files / in small

Hi
Using DIRMC is probably the easiest way to implement faster restore times.
DIRMC means that you don't have to restore each subdir from tape, which
takes a VERY long time. Instead, you use random access media(diskpools),
which is much faster when it comes to finding the data.
Simplest way

Quite to the contrary. You usually do want COMPRESSALWAYS when you use
client side compression. The question most often is whether you should
compress at all.
There are (as far as I know) two reasons to use client compression:
1) When you have small disk pools you need to feed them already
This often means that the tape volume on which the object resides

It doesn't appear that the files are actually being stored on the TSM
Experimenting with backupsets.
I understand that TSM treats the backupset as one file, and discovered that
it mounts all the volumes before sending data.
What I don't know is, what is TSM doing when it's mounting the volumes? Is
it verifying the integrity, or availability of all the volumes?

I added DIRMC = some_disk_space to my existing TSM 4.1 system which had

of dribble directories off of that

The idea of turning a list of volumes into a script is a very good idea.
