Re: [ADSM-L] server to server dbbackup

First define the server-to-server connection.  Be sure to define it as a
node for the virtual-volumesfor the server you want to backup (source).

Source Server
DEFINE SERVER HADES serverpa=*** hla=IP-address-or-DNS lla=1500 pa=***
del=0 noden=HADES

Then do the same in reverse from the target server  Node would be optional
unless you want to backup both directions:

Target Server
DEFINE SERVER EARTH serverpa=*** hla=IP-address-or-DNS lla=1500  del=0

On the target, define the node but be sure to define it as a SERVER, not
CLIENT.  Also, you will need an appropriate PD/PS/ManagementClass with an
ARCHIVE copygroup since the "backups" are actually ARCHIVES.

Target Server
REGISTER NODE HADES ***  archdel=YES type=Server backdel=YES dom=STANDARD
sessioninit=CLIENTORSERVER

On the Source server, define the DEVCLASS with devtype=server  pointing to
the Target server

Source Server
DEFINE DEVCLASS HADES devt=server servern=EARTH maxcap=50G prefix=ADSM
mountr=60 mountl=1 retryp=10 retryi=30

If all goes well, the next step your the backup.

Source Server
BACKUP DB DEVCLASS=HADES TYPE=DBSNAPSHOT WAIT=NO

Can someone share the basic definitions, dev classes, storage pools
To accomplish this , I am under the little hard to understand category.
I must be missing some pieces.

Thanks,

Tim

"Can tsm 6.3 be used to backup servera database to a location on another
tsm server serverb"

We have been writing full backups to a virtual volume pool on a remote
server for several years using server-to-server communication. The setup
is a little hard to understand, but easy to do.

Best wishes,
