Hi *SM-ers

I hope the weekend was great and that your TSM-servers went much better than 
ours.

We have run a "Generate Backupset" job on our TSM Server and normally does this 
job takes around 1-2 weeks to run.

But guess what. Almost in the end of our "Generate backupset" did our TSM 
Server get a Media Error and then automatic just killed the process.

I tried to look around in TSM to see if I can run some sort of restart command. 
But it looks like I need to restart the entire process and start all over again.

This is not good for us because of it takes almost 2 weeks and we don't really 
have time to restart it until we going to start our next "Generate Backupset" 
process.

 

My question to you all is:

Is there any way for me to restart the process where if left of or can I set 
some settings in TSM so if it goes media error that it just tell us the error 
and then continue on another tape?

I got a feeling that "Generate Backupset" is not that robust so we really can 
trust it.

 

Please come with advice or any feedback.

 

TSM Runs on: Windows Server 2003 (x86 x 4 CPU)

TSM Server version: 5.4.1.2
