Sequence of Storage Groups

[miro]

We have 4 Storage Groups that we backup on the one Exchange Client.

Right now when doing a FULL backup , they backup starting with the smallest ( about 8GB) to the largest ( about 300GB).

Is there a way to re-jig the sequence starting with the largest to the smallest? I want to get the largest one completed as soon as I can.

create a script using the tpdexcc command and explicitly name the storage groups in the order you want them to backup.

tdpexcc backup SG4 /excserver=SERVERNAME /tsmoptfile=SOME_LOCATION
tdpexcc backup SG2 /excserver=SERVERNAME /tsmoptfile=SOME_LOCATION
tdpexcc backup SG1 /excserver=SERVERNAME /tsmoptfile=SOME_LOCATION
tdpexcc backup SG3 /excserver=SERVERNAME /tsmoptfile=SOME_LOCATION

A simplified way:

tdpexcc backup SG4,SG2,SG1,SG3 {FULL|INCR|COPY|DIFF|DBCOPY dbname} /excserver=SERVERNAME /tsmoptfile=SOME_LOCATION
