I think, you can easily find the right answer. In the BA Client 6.4 there is a new command line option, called -preview

Try this:

dsmc backup vm vmfolder=Project1 -preview

After running the...

Try this:

SELECT cast(a.entity AS varchar(9)) AS "Node name", -
CAST(sum(a.bytes/1024/1024) AS decimal(10,2)) AS "MB Xfer ", -
CAST(sum(a.bytes/1024/1024/1024) AS decimal(8,2)) AS "GB Xfer "...

You don't need to make another full backup. As the documentation says, the very first backup is full, and the others are incremental. On the 29th day you will see 28 backups on the TSM server. In...

Hi,

This is because there is no MEAN aggregate function in DB2, and TSM 6 is using DB2 database.

Hi,

As I know, there is no /pitdate option in the syntax of the tdpsqlc restore command.

You maybe will find other information about the error in the dsmerror.log file and TSM server activity log.

In the .opt file you can use the exclude/include statements. For exapmle, exlude \...\database_name\...\*

Hi,

I think, you use the command like this: tdpsqlc backup * full ....

In the syntax of the tdpsqlc command there is e new parameter: /excludedb. Using this paramater you can exclude the offile...

As I know, this is the normal behaviour. Because of DOMAIN C:, F: and T:, the BA client will fully backup these drives (there is no exclude). Please delete this three lines from dsm.opt. If you don't...

Hi,
As I know, you don't have to configure anything. When a vm backup is initiated, the VMware Tools serve as the VSS requestor, instructing registered VSS Writers to perform pre and post backup...

I think, you use tdp for sql, not the ba client. In this case, you have to write something like this to the dsm.opt file:

exclude \...\Son_db\full*

Try this:

select domain_name,summary.activity,sum(cast(summary.bytes/1024/1024/1024 as decimal(6,2))) as GB from nodes, summary where start_time>'2012-01-01 00:00:00' AND start_time<'2012-01-07...

Hi,

You have to inactivate manually via the tdpsql gui, or with the tdpsqlc.exe command.

Hi All,

I am trying install and configure TDP for VMware 6.3. Almost everything was ok, but the vcenter plugin didn't start.
In the command line, i can run inquire_config and inquire_detail...

Hi Rigido,

Instead of TRIM, you can use the RPAD scalar function. For example: Select RPAD(node_name,20) as node, RPAD(platform_name,20) as platform from nodes.

The Database name is case sensitive. Did you check it?

The TSM fo VE and TSM BA Client are two different installation packages. First, you have to install the BA client with the VMware backup option, after you can install the TSM for VE.

And yes, you...

Hi,

You can run a select against the ARCHIVES table in the TSM server.

SELECT DISTINCT node_name, description FROM archives

It will not produce information about the size and the owner, but...

It is because of the restore process. When TSM restore a VM to a virtual environment, it creates a brand new virtual machine, which is different form the original one (different uuid). Try to rename...

Yes, correct.

If you want to take an incrementel backup of a volume, you don't have to write the volume's name to the 'object' section of the scheduler definition. It is enough to write Domain C: D: E:

You can check the Management class in the Restore Database part of the GUI, or using tdpsqlc query tsm <db_name> command.

That is normal behavior when a Windows program modifies registry. The TSM client stores the settings (for example password, scheduler service settings, name of the node and TSM server, etc.) in the...

Did you install the LVSA agent? It is not part of the default installation.

You can run Preview Include-Exclude from the GUI (Utilites). It is possible that you will find the answer in the result file.

I was wrong, sorry. The place of exlude.dir is not important. Did you restarted the scheduler service?

Did you enter exclude.dir to the end of the dsm.opt? It is important because the TSM read the dsm.opt from down to up.

If you have active version of a database backups, first you need inactivate them. You can execute 'tdpsqlc inactivate' to achieve this state.

Or, before the restore you can kill the sessions that connected to the database.

Hi,

If you run the Preview Include-Exlude command from the GUI for the C:\Windows folder, in the result you will find the next line:

'C:\Windows\System32\Msdtc\MSDTC.LOG 4.00 MB .LOG Excluded...

You are right. My idea was stupid.

You have to define 8 different schedules on the TSM server and associate these schedules with the same node. Set the start time for example 00:00, 04:00,08:00,12:00 and so on.

I know. But the backed up system was vmware virtual machine, too.

Hi,

I try to work out a method to restore full system (Windows 2003) with tsm restore image option, but I failed.
Because I haven't physical machines to tried it in our vmware infraturcture.

In case of SQL log backup you have to set the backup copy group 'Retain Extra Versions' value to the number of days, while you want to retain the log backups. The 'Version Data Exists' value is...

Check the retention settings in the management class.

You can find a lot of interesting RedBook on this topic.

We had a similar situation. Maxscr was 15, used tape was about 7. After we had modified the storage pool definition (changed maxscr to 20), everything worked well.

I think, you have to rewrite the sum(num_files)*600 like this:

cast((sum(float(num_files))*600) as dec(8,2))

I think it is not possible to restore the transaction log backups as files.

The /.../ part of the exclude.backup line is represents all of the users in the documents and settings folder.

Hi,

Exclude the mentioned files from the backup.

For example:

EXCLUDE.BACKUP "c:\Documents and Settings\...\ntuser*.*"

Yes.

You need 5.5.2.12 or later version of BA client to backup Windows 2008 R2 Systemstate
