Subject: Dry run backup


Hi,

I'm doing some performace tuning, and want to do everything *except*
actually send the backups to the server... basically I'm testing how
fast the client is deciding which files to backup, but don't want to
dump tons of data into the system.

Does anyone have any ideas on this - BTW I'm a completely new to TSM so
go easy on me!


Thanks


Jason
