Re: Client Backup Schedule

You mentioned something here I was wondering about just an hour ago..

I noticed that the DB tables for backups and archives specifiy 1024chars
for the pathname, and 512chars for the filename. Is this long enough to
encompass the maximim path/filename length of all systems that TSM is
able to backup?

Computer says 'No'..

Refer to client manual topic "Handling spaces in file names in schedule
definitions".

I don't understand what you mean by "8 digits": there are no digits in
your example; and there's no length restriction, per se, on filespecs.
