Hello fellow *SMers,

in our small environment we back up 3 WinNT 4.0 SP5 server systems with TSM
client 4.1.2.12 to a TSM 4.1.2.1 server on WinNT with an ADIC Faststore 22
Autoloader. Our daily incremental backups go first do a disk storage pool on
the TSM server. All 3 WinNT servers are associated to one schedule
DAILY_INCREMENTAL with a 1 hour start up window. The backup processes spend
most of the time looking for changed files. The overall amount of backed up
data is 1-3 GB per night.

During the backup process the TSM server mounts a tape in the ADIC every
time one of the server systems start some activity. This happens in
intervals of 2-4 minutes. These are by far too many tape mounts.

The questions is WHY?
The backup is supposed to go to disk, not to tape, so i expect to see NO or
at least reduced tape activity.

If this is a lack of knowledge on my part i will take your RTM
recommendations. If not any help is appreciated.

With kindest regards

Volker
