Micheal
here is what I do, I have about close to 55 filers and I could not afford
TDP for NDMP and also that my TSM servers are running 4.2.20
What I have down here works only it you have an NIS enviroment
1. I force a snapshot manually on all the filers at the volume leve from
admin host nightly (over writes the previous one)
2. export the snapshot via NIS as a remote map (say auto.nacbkp)
ex:- /nacbkup/<filername>.<vol-name>.tsm.nightly0
3. Use proxy TSM clients to mount the above NIS maps via CRON and then
send the data over the network on to the media server (TSM)
Now that I have nearly 100 volumes puttogether, I distribute the load on 4
to 5 proxy TSM clients.
If you need I can send your the shell scritps on how this is done
hope this helps. BTW I also read that the TDP for NDMP is only supported
on TSM 5.1 and also does support for filers with direct attached tape-libs
Cheers..
