Re: Multiple backup of a file that doesn't change?

Hi Flemming,
this could be easily done by selective backup of this file by somebody
after normal incremental backup. Using selective backup you can backup
file as many times as you want. During selective backup TSM client does
not check if file was changed or not.

Hope this helps

Multiple backup of a file that doesn't change?






Hi all

First of all... I'm not drunk, on drugs or anything like that - only a
severe headache....

I have a NetWare 5.1 SP3 (I know it's old...), TSA5UP12 is applied, TSM
Client 5.1.6.0 - and running a normal scheduled incremental backup every
night... and still I've a screendump in front of me where I can read the
following:

Opticut.exe (active), Modified: 01-12-1999 15:27:12, Created: 08-06-2001
18:19:25, Backed Up: 28-07-2003 21:15:17
Opticut.exe (inactive), Modified: 01-12-1999 15:27:12, Created: 08-06-2001
18:19:25, Backed Up: 25-07-2003 03:31:21

How can this happen????

Regards
Flemming

Emne: Re: High Utilization on Netware Server


Compression will not help in this case, since all compression must be done
and undone by the clients cpu, this will put more load and the novell
server and not alieviate it as you might think.  What are the sizes of the
files being backed up (in general)? What is the size of the cpu that is
being used on the server? How much ram is available? and last but not
least what are the comm buffer settings on the client?
