Customers interested in participating in the beta test
of Tivoli Data Protection for SQL V2 should fill out
=================================
the following form and send it to:
TDPbeta AT tivoli DOT com
Nominations will be accepted until 8/18/2000.
The beta test is expected to start in late September
or early October.
Highlights of V2 of TDP for SQL are as follows:
* Automatic Expiration and version control by TSM server
policy => The current product stores each backup object
with a unique name thereby circumventing the automatic
expiration and version control provided by the TSM server.
The new version provides significant changes in the backup
object naming and handling to allow exploitation of
these automatic data management features in TSM.
* Support for Differential backup/restore of SQL databases
* Support for backup/restore of individual file groups
* Support for backup/restore of individual db files
* Support for backup/restore of a set of file groups and files
* Support for SQL Data Striping => multiple parallel sessions
to backup/restore individual objects. This capability, together
with the additional granularity described in the prior bullets
greatly improves manageability of Very Large DataBases (VLDBs)
* Support and Exploitation of SQL 2000
- Restore to a named mark
- Partial restores
- Support multiple SQL server instances on the same machine
- Restore using fewer data stripes than were used on backup
* Restore to a Standby SQL server
* Restore to different physical file names
* Exploitation of Win2000 Installer
