On any given day, during the holidays, theres about 2-3GB of changed files. However, I did change a permission on a directory/folder tree that contains 125GB of files. I'm guessing TSM has backed up

TSM treats files as whole entities. When you change permissions on a file, TSM will back it up again. I'm surprised Mark didn't at least allude to the SKIPNTPERMISSIONS option for Windows client. It

Hehe. For a reason, to be sure. I have had several customers use that option, and come to sorely regret it later. Why would anyone want to restore an incomplete/out of date/erroneous version of a fil
Hi Mark, Thanks for your comments. I've decided to not go with subfile backups because (from training late last year) I understood that a 1MB file could be backed up over many volumes, thus being ins

If I were backing up using subfile and collocation, would this alleviate the problem of the subfile backups being spread over many volumes? Marginally. You'd still have to wander an individual tape (

We've used subfiles successfully for large files, but only because we were able to put large amount of fileclass disk behind our primary diskpools. If you do that, collocation and how many subfiles p

We have since eliminated them, but we were using subfile on .pst files, some of which got up to 4gb. We also use it on access databases, which are in the same size category. -steve --Original Message
I didn't see any mention of this, but last time I checked, subfile was limited to files up to 2GB, not larger. We are also trying to figure out how to efficiently backup large .pst files (larger than

Somewhat, but not entirely, if you are using real tape. (If you are using virtual tape, it just doesn't matter.) Day 1: When you use subfile backup, you get a base copy of the entire file the first b
