Hi,
I'd like to ask you about database backups. After reading manual and few articles I've decided to make daily incremental database backups and full backup once a week. For my small system it is enough. Problem is in volumes where i want to store them.
I think that good idea is to keep database backups in selected volumes . Thats why I invoke following db command:
Problem is that after scheduling it, only two backups were invoke, and when I try make another, TSM responces that this volumes are in use and skips them.
So, my question is how to force TSM server to store database backups (active and past) in this two volumes (LTO3) ?
In volume history I have notices that full backup was send into GS6118L3, and incremental into GS6119L3.
Some actlog:
Is it possible to append database backup to perviously used tape ?
I was wondering also if such often mount of tapes may damage them ?
Thanks for your help
