Running 8.1.3 on Linux.
If you ever need to start over with a new "first-time" full (and then incr thereafter) of a given file space, but you don't want to lose what TSM already has in its database, will the selective backup do that? And then you just continue with incrementals as before? But you could still restore older data from before you ran the selective?
... maybe you discover something wrong with the configuration, or maybe you just want to get a complete new copy, all on more recent or newer media or contiguous tapes since it may have been spread out on a lot of tapes over time (pieces/parts all over), even assuming collocation.
Or would you instead have to delete the file space for the node from the server's database and run another incr? Seems illogical, but I'm not sure here.
