Archive Retrieval

swarsiri — Sun, 19 May 2013 06:06:57 GMT

Hi Admins,

I have a requirement to test our old archives stored in Tapes for the purpose of Internal Audit. Below is my requirement.

Archive date - older than 15.01.2012 (or say between 01.01.2011 and 15.01.2012)
Nodename - ABC
Folder to retrieve - /b01 (almost 500gb of data)
stg pool=MONTHLY_COPY_POOL

The Tapes are stored in a remote location. I would need a command to identify the list of tapes required, specific to this retrieve. I have tried the below commands already.

select distinct volume_name from contents a, backups b where a.node_name='ABC' and a.object_id=b.object_id and backup_date<'01.01.2012' and stg=MONTHLY_COPY_POOL

q nodedata ABC stg='MONTHLY_COPY_POOL'

select distinct volume_name from volumeusage where node_name='ABC' and stgpool_name='MONTHLY_COPY_POOL' (or)

Expecting a simple and strong command to identify the tape list. :confused:

:up: Cheers - Siri

Backup to new Mgmtclass

dabe — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:46 GMT

Hi,

we defined a new Policy domain and Management Class on our TSM-Server (linux) and then we assigned it to a host. But when i run a backup via command line on this host, the backupfiles stored by the default mgmt class. Did we miss somthing in the configuration and how we can backup to this new mgmtclass from commandline?

Many thanks in advance!

TSM 6.3.2 and NetApp VFiler Backup

tasmacher — Tue, 14 May 2013 13:12:25 GMT

We now use a TSM 6.3.2.00 Server version and want to save vFiler Volumes (NA3270). According to IBM, it is possible for it to use the TSM backup client. Does anyone have experience with it? It should be slower than via NDMP. Are there any good documentation for the facility?

Backup hyper-v vm in cluster environment

pudi — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:05:25 GMT

Hi,
i have 4 nodes cluster with csv volumes on windows 2008 r2.
i create clients for nodes node01, node02, ....
and proxy client cluster (for option asnodename cluster).
on all nodes i have 3 macro files

Macro1:
backup vm -vmbackuptype=HyperVFull -vmlist=vm1
Macro2:
backup vm -vmbackuptype=HyperVFull -vmlist=vm2
Macro3:
backup vm -vmbackuptype=HyperVFull -vmlist=vm3

vm1 is on node01, v2 is on node02, vm3 is on node03

i create 3 schedule for macro1 - macro3 and asociate to cluster (clientname) to run at
1:00AM, 2:00AM, 3:00M

in current time node02 is ovner csv volume

in events all schedule is run succesfull, but only vm2 is backup correctly.
in system logs i have events only on node02.

when i run
backup vm -vmbackuptype=HyperVFull -vmlist=vm1 from ba cli on node01 cluster turn on redirect mode on csv volume and bckup is successful

why backup don't run schedule macro on others node's only on node02 ??

anyway to kick client backup before scheduled time?

unixandtsm — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:03:45 GMT

Hi all,

there is a windows TSM client, which is associated with a client schedule in TSM server.
The scheduled start time is 17:00 EST and so client is waiting for the scheduled time to start backups.
I am wondering if there is any way to kick client backups NOW from client without waiting for 12 hours for the scheduled start time?
I want to do this as a one time thing for now so do not want edit client schedule in TSM server.

Redirect the dsmc command output

oguri — Mon, 06 May 2013 06:44:41 GMT

Hi, I want to redirect the output of the dsmc backup command to a file and at the same time I want to print how much data is backed up on the screen. I have tried to use the "tee" command in the Linux which perform both redirection and print the details on the screen. But that command is not printing the how much size of the data backed up. Is there any method to do this ?

Dunul — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:43:06 GMT

hello everyone!

i have an issue that i never had to deal with, i hope that you can help me with that one =]

let's say i have a node called NODE1

NODE1 is has daily inc schedule with 5 versions and assigned to DOMAIN1

i need to create a schedule for NODE1 with weekly image backup with 2 versions exists.
since the node already sassigned to a domain (with it's copy group parametrts), how can i adjust my copygroup to work with 2 schedules in that way? (the old inc with 5 versions exists + new weekly image with 2 versions)

Thank in advance,
Daniel.

Incremental backup of only ONE folder

k@sport — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:03:28 GMT

Hi ererybody,

We are trying to backup one folder with TSM.

Here it is the content of our include-exlude file :

Quote:

exclude ?:\...\*
include "D:\Test\Data\Backup\...\*"

But it seems does not work. TMS take the entire partition D:\ and backed up it.

Any idea about this specific problem ?

client schedule action "ARCHIVE" - no schedlog?

Sunhillow — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:12:33 GMT

Hi there,

I defined a client schedule on a TSM server - action is ARCHIVE because the files are to be deleted after successful archiving.
My problem is, there is no schedlog file, only the errorlog. I also tried to include -schedlogname=xxx.log to the options but this did not help. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

Furthermore, the option -deletefiles only deletes files. Is it possible to delete emty directories without an additional postsched command?

Thank you in anticipation!

Full Selective Backup for Unix

redplumptomato — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:23:24 GMT

Hi all,

We have a monthly schedule that runs which has the following options in the sched:

/ -subdir=yes

I find that this only scans 100,000 files. the incremental schedule, which runs every night, scans 500,000.

What do I need to add to the above selective schedule, so that it backs up everything on this box?

I was thinking /* might do it, or, do I have to specify each mount point?

ANS9989W - new management class not seen by backup client

gzoom — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:01:36 GMT

I need to back up some files using different policy (keep only one version for one day, not any version for 366 days as defaults for other backups).
1) I have created a new management class XYZ within the SERVER policy "define mgmtclass SERVER STANDARD XYZ",
2) then created a new copygroup "define copygroup SERVER STANDARD XYZ DESTINATION="newpool" (...other options)",
3) verified and activated the policy "ACTIVATE POLICY SERVER STANDARD",
4) inserted into dsm.opt "INCLUDE.BACKUP "C:\test" XYZ"
and I'm getting ANS9989W - management class XYZ does not exist. QUERY MGMTCLASS lists "SERVER ACTIVE XYZ No" as one of the results. What am I missing/doing wrong?

Can I backup TSM database via D2D2T?

anonydigital — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 07:23:36 GMT

Hi, I am new to TSM.

Now I am thinking how to backup TSM database to tape,
but I have been told TSM database can only backup to new tape.
Does that mean, if I need to keep 1 week backup on tape, I will need to prepare 7 tapes?

If so, can I backup TSM database to file on disk firstly, then migrate it to tape, same as backup a general file?
with this way, do I still need 7 tapes to keep 1 week backup?

Thanks.
