Subject: Residency Re-Announcement: TI-A100 Backing up Microsoft SQL &
Exchange with Tivoli Storage Manager
Residency Re-Announcement: TI-A100 Backing up Microsoft SQL & Exchange
with Tivoli Storage Manager
Benefits to Resident: Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange Server are core
products in Microsoft's back-office strategy. Tivoli Storage Management
Data Protection products are being enhanced to provide complementary backup
solutions. This residency will enable residents to apply TSM backup and
restore techniques with confidence in setting up and maintaining cast iron,
industrial strength backup solutions for the business-critical data held on
these servers.
The emphasis of this book will be on the new functions introduced by Tivoli
Data Protection Products for MS SQL and MS Exchange, Version 2.2. The
experience gained will be of crucial value to those architecting,
designing, and implementing backup solutions for these important areas.
This San Jose residency begins 29 Jan 2001, ends 09 Mar 2001 (6 weeks), and
requires 3 residents. Please submit nominations by 08 Jan 2001.
Description: This residency will explore the usage of Tivoli Data
Protection for Microsoft SQL Server Version 2.2 and Tivoli Data Protection
for Microsoft Exchange Server Version 2.2. The residents will set up and
test the products in a risk-free lab environment with support from
development.
Version 2.2 provides new functionality as well as support for the 2000
releases of Microsoft SQL and Exchange. Most significantly, the new version
of these Tivoli Data Protection products supports one of the important
features of Tivoli Storage Management - automatic expiration and version
control by policy. This support frees users from having to explicitly
delete backup objects in the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
The residency will produce two new IBM Redbooks on the subject for early
release on the World Wide Web.
Objectives: The objectives of this residency are to:
Install and test the new product code
Highlight any usage issues with development
Create two new Redbooks: Backing up Microsoft SQL with Tivoli Storage
Manager and Backing up Microsoft EXchange with Tivoli Storage Manager
This residency is suitable for Customers, Business Partners, and IBMers.
A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly
express concepts and procedures in common English.
Resident Prerequisites: Good knowledge of MS back office products

Important: Even if you cannot be a resident now, perhaps you could provide
or point us to appropriate, already-existing materials as potential input
to our development efforts. We would appreciate your help in identifying
any useful material that can be expanded, referenced, or included as is.
If the material significantly contributes to the produced redbook, we will
acknowledge your assistance and may even name the creator as a contributing
author. We believe that your help will leverage the value of the
already-existing materials and will result in better redbooks produced in
shorter cycle times.
The ITSO Residency program has been honed over many years to provide the
maximum benefit to residents and their businesses. IBM organizations,
Business Partners, and customers that have provided residents report that
the returning employee has gained significant new skills to enable them to
support IBM's latest products. These skills can be employed either
directly for services generation or indirectly in technical support of the
sales effort. Furthermore, the contacts made by the resident within the
development community and with the other residents are invaluable in
keeping these skills up-to-date.
