Hi,
the best option to save millions of file under NTFS is using TSM for Fastback.
1.- you can run backups incremental for ever.
2.- you don't have backup windows.
3.- you can integrate TSM for FB with TSM
4.- you can give service very quickly in case of disaster.
Hi,
I enabled the journal service for drive F: of a test windows-based TSM
client. Here is the interesting test results:
1- total filesystem size:14GB
2- used space: 370MB (pdf, doc, exe and ... other ordinary files)
3- I enabled journal
4- snapshot image backup was successful
5- the .jbbdb file
When you 'copied' the directory, did the DATE of the directory change??
Thats probably why it didn't back anything new up..
And thats why incrbydates shouldnt be relied upon always - should always
do normal incremental backups as well

I added a new directory with 40MB of files in it. This directory is a new
one that was not present when the image backup was performed. I think the
most rudimentary task that is expected from an incremental backup is to
understand newly added files and directories.
If you want to save millions of files in the same directory. Or you change your
application in order to create a different directory structure or use FastBack.

Fastback uses incremental for ever disk block backup and saves all info in a
disk repository and you can integrate FastBack with TSM. From point of view of
fastback is the same if you directory have one or one million files becasue the
backup is a disk block level. When you have to restore you

Hi Mehdi,
FastBack don't scan each file that TSM does.
FastBack do Incremental backups based on Block-Level and in that case FastBack
don't care if it is million of small files or 1 large file. It will only backup
the blocks that is change and always backup the entire partition.
FastBack is a

Hi Steve,
I can't 100% tell from the information below...

It isn't the backup that will kill you, it is the restore...
Trust me... if you have over 1.5 Million files in a mount point, expect
weeks or months to perform a full restore.
Remember, just because you can put 20 million files in a mount point doesn't
mean it is a good idea... discourage that at

I do not think you understand.
If you are running a journal service you do not need to use incrbydate.
To do what you are trying to do you need two separate backups. The first
is a periodic image backup, maybe once per week or once every two weeks.
The second is a normal incremental

Simply activate client encryption.
The data will be encrypted at the client before it is sent to the server;
from that point forward, it will be encrypted no matter where it resides in
TSM server storage / media. If you generate a backup set on portable media
readable to the client, the data will

None the two methods that you mean in the user's guide are suitable for my
case. Image+normal incremental that you emphasized in your post means

one file-based full backup is needed which is a nightmare for 20

drives using serial number to match

Hi, Andy. Going back to simple, in addition to deleting the paths, did
you also delete and redefine your drives? I'm just double-checking
because I don't see it explicitly mentioned in the thread and it seems
to me that the only place TSM knows about the S/N is in the drive
definition.
You can issue a show library command from a TSM prompt. For detailed
info that is not always represented in TSM.
I've used this to see if tapes are stuck in older DLT drives.
But it shows WWN and serial number.

We did a switch upgrade and the short story is that the switches we migrated

The switch upgrade was more critical than the 3590
What tape drive are you emulating? Do you have a current version of the

Also,
1 Gb Ethernet is about 100Mb/sec
LTO4 is about 120Mb/sec + compression
A good SCSI or FC drive is good for about 100Mb/sec
Assuming you can stream 3 threads across the Ethernet, you will not be able to
keep the 3 LTO4 drives busy because of the network. The faster tape drives
were not intended

If you use tapeutil to do an inquiry on a tape drive, the serial number
should be recognizable in the output.
You can compare this with the results from a lscfg -vl rmt1 or lsattr
-El rmt1. I've seen the ODM reporting serial numbers that don't match
what the tape drive reports.
