Bill, we backups all TSM servers, all local file systems incrementally,
except DB's, logs and storage pools as they are all saved on tapes with
processes like "backup db" and "migrations, backup stgp",

Subject: ITSM Server backup or not ?
Importance: High


Hi ,

I have never backed up our Windows 2003  ITSM Server 5.2.2.0 before.

I am considering backuping it up  via the Backup/Archive client ?

What should I backup and why ?

Any obvious stuff that I should exclude ?

Is there any advantage in using Journaling or  Open File support ?

Can someone point me in right direction ?

T.I.A

Bill
