Re: [ADSM-L] DB size for recovery purposes

The answer is yes, the exact why however, will have to be answered by someone 
else.  I believe it has to do with the DB design and TSM will only recognize 
the actual last recorded DB size, not the last utilized size.

Subject: [ADSM-L] DB size for recovery purposes



 Have DB with size of 31,440 MB. Attempting to
 load a copy of the database on my recovery
 system. DB is 53% full.

53.5

 I didn't create the recovery DB with the same capacity since
 the actual one is only just over half utilized.

 The error I get when loading the recovery DB is

 Database capacity required for restore is 31328 megabytes.
 Database available capacity is 18864 megabytes.

 Does the recovery db have to be the same size even though
 its not fully utilized. If the answer is yes why ?
