backing up to tape/OS/390
2015-10-04 17:13:42
Environment:
System/390
device type: Cartridge/3590
TSM 4.1.3 Server
TSM client 3.1.06
Scenario:
I get notified in advance that I'll need to restore multiple clients (gigs
worth of data) on a given weekend. I manually kick off a base backup to a
"spare" TSM server on Friday night so when the
call comes in (over the weekend) to restore the servers, I restore from a
relatively quiet TSM server. I'm not contending with the production backup
cycle.
The problem:
This backed up data gets migrated to tape prior to my restore. Invariably,
multiple servers' data ends up on one tape. i.e. only one server can
restore at a time.
The question:
Is there a way to direct the backup data of a particular server to a
specific tape so I can run multiple restores from multiple tapes at the same
time? This is killing me... Good suggestions would
be appreciated.
Regards, Joe
