I was mucking about on Thursday, checking out the backupset option for a
server that died that day. It appears to me that I need to find a CD/DVD
burner that will attach to a 6M1, or to a FC director to be able to make
backupsets in my environment? I understood the documentation to mean that
the sequential media device needs to be defined as a device class on the
server, and since I am AIX in a SAN environment (well, almost SAN...we're
working on it), I don't have many options for the NT boxes that I would
like to make backupsets for (I mean, I don't see connecting an NT box to a
3494 or a 3590 drive). I guess I could use an 3580 that would be
"portable"?
Am I missing something, or is this the way it actually is?
thanks,
lisa

Actually, Dan, sorry for my remark.
What you have to do is revisit what you are saving and put in exclude.dirs
for all directories that contain software that can be rebuilt from a common
desktop image (hard drive replacment). Have your users save their
documents
in specific folders and only back them up. Then they just have to
customize
their desktop configure their node name in the dsm.opt and restore the
stuff
that is backed up.
This is the trade-off.
The other approach is the backupset that is a CD sent to them and
incremental restore from that point forward.
