Thanks Del -- And thanks to everybody who worked to get this out for us!

Question:  I see the download packages, but I don't see a new manual in
the Info center.

Is everything the same with 2010 as far as syntax and procedures go so
we can just use the current 6.1 book?

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM now supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail - Data Protection for Exchange 6.1.2
and IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager 2.2 now support Microsoft
Exchange Server 2010.

There are a few important things to take note of.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 included some significant changes,
a number of which affect backup and restore.
For example, under Exchange Server 2010:

    * Legacy-style backups (aka "streaming" backups) are no longer
supported by Microsoft
    * VSS-style backups are the only supported online backup method
    * Exchange storage groups were removed completely
    * The Recovery Database replaced the Recovery Storage Group (RSG)
    * Database Availability Groups (DAGs) have replaced LCR, CCR, and
SCR
replication
    * Single Copy Clustering (SCC) is no longer available


Exchange Server 2010 support will require two (2) TSM packages
to be downloaded, installed, and configured for VSS operations:

1. Data Protection for Exchange 6.1.2 x64 package:


ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance
/tivoli-data-protection/ntexch/v612/x64/



2. TSM BA Windows Client 6.2.1 x64 package:


ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance
/client/v6r2/Windows/x64/v621/



Note: If you are a FlashCopy Manager customer, the new
      FlashCopy Manager 2.2 package contains both packages.


Here are details about the TSM/FCM functionality for Exchange Server
2010:

    * Full Exchange Server 2010 support

    * Command-line Interface (CLI)

    * Graphical User Interface (GUI)

    * Database Availability Group (DAG) support

    * Query Exchange Information
          o Shows all databases with various attributes
          o Shows VSS component information

    * Backup
          o Full, Copy, Incremental, Differential
          o Back up from production database
          o Back up from a passive database copy (replica)
          o Back up to TSM Server
          o Back up to LOCAL snapshot
          o Offloaded backup to TSM

    * Query Backups
          o Shows all backups with their attributes

    * Restore
          o Restore from TSM Server
          o Restore into production database
          o Restore into "Recovery Database"
          o VSS Instant Restore from LOCAL snapshot
          o VSS Fast Restore from LOCAL snapshot
          o Mailbox Restore (IMR)

    * FlashCopy Manager and MMC Integration


Note: Exchange Server 2010 VSS backups to the TSM Server
      are enabled without the requirement for a TSM for
      Copy Services or FlashCopy Manager license.


Thanks,
