Hello All, I have a client that needs to move a 2Tb volume on their Windows file server. Their TSM sever is also on Windows w/TSM v5.3.4. What is the fastest/best way to accomplish this. We tested an

What kinid of data is it: static files that don't change much (stuff), database, lots of files being created/deleted. Rick Nicholas Rodolfich <NRodolfich@CMAON To THEWEB.COM> ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT

We installed storage agents on two unix servers that have weekly 2TB archives. Each archive takes about 6.5 hours. Hello All, I have a client that needs to move a 2Tb volume on their Windows file ser
12M/s? And that's at 8 hours; if you set it up at 1800 and looked at 0900 the next morning it gets worse. That sounds like a bottleneck somewhere. Writing just one stream to tape, I'd expect 30-40MB

Nicholas, If all your client needs to do is get the data from point A to B, I wouldn't even use TSM. Tell your Windows engineers to use the built in robocopy utility and go direct. This is how we mig
Is it lots of little files (I know, silly question with it being a windows file server). Also, how long is "over night"? Is that compressed client data or is it file space data? Is that a backup or a
How about an image backup? Eliminate the small file issues on backup and restore... Kelly Lipp CTO STORServer, Inc. 485-B Elkton Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80907 719-266-8777 x7105 www.storserver.com
That will limit you to a single session performing an image backup (won't it??? I don't use image backup) Windows clients have become better at pumping data but lately but a single session still won'
I think the advantage is on the restore: you won't have to create a gazillion little files which is actually the bottleneck (typically) in Windows. The backup will be limited to one stream, but that

Hi Nicholas, 2008/12/11 Nicholas Rodolfich <NRodolfich AT cmaontheweb DOT com> I would also recommend the robocopy way! Run a robocopy job transferring all files to the new volume. That may run even
If you assume a file create rate of about 100,000/hour then you are looking at a 20 hour restore if all else goes well. You might squeeze more file creates out of your new server, but who really know

Well, it turns out that the client has no downtime for this system so I don't think the image thing is an option. Not to mention one of the admins installed the LVSA code through the GUI setup wizard
I've seen restores of 1+M files take days due to the delays associated with general system over head (creating directory entries, etc...) and by days I mean 5-7+. And so again, I'll mention... Just b
Amen to Dwight's comment! And can you imagine a filespace with 10M files? I shudder... Kelly Lipp CTO STORServer, Inc. 485-B Elkton Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80907 719-266-8777 x7105 www.storserver.

The only practical way to do this is via replication. I believe there are some products out there for Windows and Linux that are software based. Just set it up, wait for it to finish. Verify it is fu
