How many inactive versions exist??? (what are your retention characteristics and how frequently do the files change) Also, what is the total number of files stored for that file system??? If you have 7 million files in that file system, that can have ugly results... Also, do you have any looping

If you have multiple TSM servers, just backup to a flat file and push the db backup to your other TSM server. (same with hourly incr db backups) (and please don't go down the ~just use server to server communications with virtual volumes~ road... I don't like using virtual volumes on another

Typically in the AIX TSM server environments (can't speak for the others) it will use empty scratch volumes in the order they ~became~ empty/scratch be that from all the data expiring on it, reclamation, or checking into the library so if you had a brand new tape you specifically wanted used, you

I've not used image backups on windows machines but by looking at the names, I'm thinking those might be image backups... did you specify OBJTYPE=IMAGE ? If they are regular files, you could use an admin account with full rights, that would show them to you. And you might try adjusting your

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

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

You are aware that under AIX if any WWN in the path of a drive changes, then that constitutes an entirely new device as seen by AIX. If you replaced GBics, it possibly could have caused the tape drive to take on a new rmt as seen under AIX unless you performed a rmdev -dl rmt_ on the existing

I've noticed in 5.5.1 server (healthy AIX server running virtual tape library so minimal mount delay, etc...) with 5.4.2 windows clients that if you are performing a restore where over 1.5M files exist within TSM for a single drive, it can take 7-10 days to perform the restore. If you have

Sorry... didn't see the initial email earlier... As mentioned by Richard, the details on the TSM server and client platforms code levels would be helpful. I seem to remember older clients only initiating a single thread per mount point on retrieves (but I could be remembering incorrectly).
