Yes, something similar. I've attended the IBM Software Symposium in Vienna this year and there were a bunch of interesting presentations (about ROI of TSM or the one I've posted today). I've found such presentations to be very helpful and would like to see all of them permanently on the net.

AW: TDP R/3

2002-12-23 Thread Rupp Thomas (Illwerke)
Hi, I'm not familiar with DB/2 but I think the main difference between online backup of DB/2 and online backup of SAP R/3 using TDP is that TDP backs up *ALL* data you would need to restore SAP R/3 in one go. This backup includes database, archive logs and some flat files. With an online DB/2

Hi TSM-ers, Use the managedservices option in your client options file (dsm.opt) to specify whether the Client Acceptor service manages the scheduler. Note: You cannot use the managedservices option in a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) environment. Is this limitation still true with TSM Client

Hi, if my understanding of TSM is correct then there is no Microsoft API for DHCP. So TSM can't backup the DHCP database because it's always in use. In the W2K DHCP Configuration you can define an interval when DHCP will write a flat file copy of its database. This file can be archived, restored
