Hello all Can anyone confirm for me that when using the Incremental Forever method of backing up, do you get a full offsite copy of the particular node in question (AIX, 2003, etc) when doing an OFFSITE Create each day. I am presumeing that one does from my understanding of this approach.

Hi Matthew, Is your customer's TSM client scheduled using the TSM Central Scheduler (I guess so if it's growing to over 100MBs) for backup operations? This kind of log pruning only happens during a TSM scheduled backup operation (not when the backup operation is scheduled via TWS/cron/Windows

Couple suggestions... Server side - groupwise tends to work better with a smaller TXNGROUPMAX (ours is 1024). Since groupwise is a lot of small files, and they can change rapidly, big TXNGROUPMAX settings can equal a lot of aggregate rebuilding before going to the server. Client Side - Set

TSM does not support the use of the /enableGroupwise switch, as it is the replacement for tsagw, which tsm also didn't support. It doesn't stop backups from running, but it caused more errors in my experience. The /nocachingmode switch is important to do though...had forgotten about that one.
