TDP SQL Server : meta data consideration

[mroussel]

Hello

On the latest versions of TSM for SQL Server (v7.1.3), is there are still restrictions regarding metadata destination? (not on removable storage)

Many thanks !

Hi,
You can put it wherevere. But, for restore tasks, it is preferred to have it on disk. It saves you a lot of waiting and fighting for tapes.

Thanks !
So, I will test with a specific management class for metadata (with a dedicated disk stgpool).
For cons, I have to externalise long terms backups (offsite). I do not know if it is compatible.

2. Need to take weekly full backup and keep it for 02 months retention.
3. Nedd to take Monthly full backup and keep it for 02 years retention.
4. very Importantly i need to bind my meta object to different management class to send backup to disk pool. (documents says tdpsql.opt but dont know how to add the lines)
