Folks,
Planning the HSM migration from 5.4 to 5.5 I read the following:
The integration between the HSM for Windows client and |the backup-archive client ensures |the backup-archive client, independent |from HSM for Windows client, always |maintains a copy of the complete file in the backup pool, whether this file |is migrated or not. In other words, for migrated files there are two identical |versions of the file on the Tivoli Storage Manager server: one is in the |HSM archive, created by the HSM client; and one is the backup copy in the |backup pool, created by the backup archive client.
This is true if you don't configure SKIPMIGRATED parameter or if you set 'no' to it. In the other hand if it is 'yes':
If the option is checked (yes), the backup-archive client does |not process any HSM for Windows client stubs. |Thus, no file is recalled, and the stubs are not backed up
This is a bit non-sense for me. Kinda wasting space having the same data in HSM and backup pools. What I want is to backup all non-migrated files and the stubs of all migrated.
That way you protect all non-migrated by the backup and for all migrated you have the stub protected. If you can recover the stub, you can recover the contents from HSM.
The stub takes a minimal space in the backup pool.
Do you see my point? Any experience to share?
Thanks,
Rudy
