Hello colleagues,
TSM being abandoned ?
I don't know but IBM 6.1 will have much more functionality than previous
versions. IBM has bought two companies FilesX and Diligent . FilesX will be add
to TSM in Windows environments, and Diligent improves the dedup technologies.
First question : deduplication is very interesting for all backup software, but
TSM has more necessities than dedup although in version 6.1 will be available.
TSM doesn't need to backup the whole environment each weekend then dedup is
more important for other backup sw.
Second question : DB2 or TSM db, I am not an expert in DBs, but I think we will
have better availability, performance with DB2. We will run an audit db
online, and HADR will be available with DB2 ( I hope ). Nowadays I have several
customers with DB size around 200 GBytes, this is a problem, I suppose DB2 can
manage this TSM dbs better than TSM DB.
Fourth question : In my opinion VTLs provide not too much possibilities, in
general VTLs aren't matures but it is ideal for lanfree backup. I don't like
too much VTL can manage all volumes, I prefer TSM does that. TSM is working for
many years and more or less works properly. But all VTL vendors want to sell a
new solution, in many cases VTL is appliance with very high cost.
Regards,
Fran

Timothy,
There was a discussion session about this at the Oxford TSM Symposium last
fall, facilitated by some folks in TSM Development. I cannot say what will
be in the next version of TSM, but I can say that IBM appears to be well
aware of this issue, and they have taken steps to listen to user
feedback. Time will tell what happens, of course, but at least they are
listening.
