Pete, did you see the IBM provided (and not supported!) PowerShell script for
this?
See this link
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21433016
I have not personally used it as I'm not ( yet ) running 2010. I did give it
the "once over", and it looked pretty good. You'd run it once from each of your
four servers mentioned below and it would backup the passive database on each
of them. If it found a problem with the passive it would backup the active
instead. You could, of course, modify to suit your needs for reporting etc.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM and Exchange 2010
I know that there has been much discussion about this topic but was wondering
if anybody has a step-by-step guide or an IBM Redbook to reference for using
TSM to backup/restore Exchange 2010. I have read the users guide and am still
quite confused.
My main confusion deals with how NOT to get multiple backups of the same
database that can reside on difficult physical machines in a DAG configuration.
Do you have to define a separate schedule and node name for each DB in a DAG
and only backup the passive (or active copy) ? So, if I have a four node DAG
with four databases in the following
configuration:
S1 S2 S3 S4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DB1 (A) DB1 (P) DB2 (A) DB2 (P)
DB3 (P) DB3 (A) DB4 (P) DB4 (A)
Do you create eight node names: S1, S2, S3, S4, DB1, DB2, DB3, and DB4.
To get only one copy of DB1 backed up, run one schedule on S1 to backup Passive
copy of DB1 and similar schedule on S2 to backup passive copy of DB2. Each
night you will run two attempts but only get the passive copy even though you
do not know what physical server it resides. Was also wondering if you need to
run the schedules at different times since you will be trying to backup the
same TSM nodename from 2 different physical servers ?
Difficult to explain but hope it makes sense. My goal is to only backup the
passive copy of a DB even though that DB can reside on either physical server
S1 or S2. Plus, any instructions to setup TDP for exchange 2010.
Thanks Pete.
Thanks Pete.
