NDMP support. You have 2 choices for NDMP, Lan-free or TCP;/IP. You need to read carefully to understand the differences. Obviously, Lan-free keeps the traffic off your LAN. But there are consequences. You get special NDMP tapes this way, and you can't copy them- you have to vault your

VMware VCB and non windows OS

2009-03-05 Thread Gee, Norman
How does one backs up a non Windows OS in a VMware environment? The TSM client (5.5.1) in the VCB explicitly states that the BACKUP VM command will only backup a Window OS. Would one install the appropriate TSM client inside the VM and schedule the VM directly? Any other options?

You will have to let RMAN do its job. Every RMAN backup piece and sets have unique file names and will never place a prior backup into an inactive status. How would you expire a RMAN backup since every backup piece is still active? Short of mass delete on filespace. -Original Message-
