Hi Brian!
Thank you very much for your reply!
You are right, the UNIX guys are looking into AFS volume backups. I'm trying
to talk them out of it, because I don't like backup utilities that rely on
their own expiration methods. Somewhere down the line they will forget
running cleanup jobs and you will end up with a growing amount of obsolete
backups on your TSM server.
We have several TDP for Oracle clients which use their own expiration. It
requires a lot of manual monitoring and sometimes backup files are left
behind by Oracle. The 2.2 version delivers the TDPOSYNC clean-up utility for
this.
One of the UNIX guys will put the problems they have with file backup
through the TSM AFS client in writing so I can put it on the ADSM-L list. I
think it has something to do with the restore of mountpoints or something
like that.
Thanks again!
Kindest regards,
