TSM and mmbackup question

[illllm]

Hi everyone!

Question:

How does TSM know what mmbackup script to pick up? Where is this configured?

From what I understand: TSM server contacts DSMCAD on client > Client initiates backup > passed on to mmbackup > mmbackup performs snapshot and then passes it on to TSM which is then backed up to tape or disk.

We have backup scripts configured < backup1.ksh , backup2.ksh....and so on). How does TSM know which .ksh file to use for a particular backup schedule/policy ?

Normally when tsm connect to client, then client starts a tsm backup. What tells the client to use mmbackup?

You need to run your schedule as action=command rather than incremental. In the command for the schedule you can then specify which script is run. - very much similar to if you were doing a SQL TDP.
