Hi Ruth,

I forgot to answer your x64 question...

Yes, we have plans to add x64 support in 2006.
Of course, I must give the standard disclaimer...
This is a *target* and IBM reserves the right to change plans.

Thanks,

Del

Re: Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1.03 - Adds SQL Server 2005 Support






Del,
This is great news. Do you have an estimate how long it'll be
before the IA64 MS hotfix and patch make their way into production
(a couple of weeks, months)? I'm just trying to plan for a new IA64
SQL 2005 deployment (which I was hoping to roll out next week).

Also, is there any support for X64 platforms?

Thanks.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1.03 - Adds SQL Server
2005 Support

Who:
   Data Protection for SQL customers running
   on Microsoft SQL Server 2005

What:
   Yesterday, Microsoft officially launched SQL Server 2005.
   Data Protection for SQL can now be used to back up and
   restore Microsoft SQL Server 2005. You will need to
   obtain version 5.2.1.03 of Data Protection for SQL
   in order to perform back up and restore operations with
   Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Where:
   FTP Site:
      ftp.software.ibm.com
   Directory:

/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/sql/v5
21/x32/
   Files:
      IP22699_3.exe            - Self-extracting install file
      IP22699_3_READSQL.TXT    - Data Protection for SQL README File
      IP22699_3_README.FTP     - README File for download

   Direct Link to installation package:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tiv
oli-data-protection/sql/v521/x32/


Note: The above is for the 32-bit version. The IA64 version is not
      working due to Microsoft bug#409794. We are waiting for the
      hotfix to be created by Microsoft. Once we obtain the hotfix
      and verify that it works, we will release that version along
      with the information on obtaining the hotfix.
