The size of the Backup set files generated will be more what a single CD
can hold.
Do we have to generate files which a CD can hold.
Is there a CD Burning Software available which can write to multiple CD's
for a single file image.

TIA
regards
murthy

I've done it on AIX.  TSM doesn't support burning the CD's directly.  As I
recall, you generate the backupset to a FILE device class, then use the CD
burner software to copy that to a CD.  So you need a LOT of free disk space
to make it work.

We have a CD-Burner in our TSM server and we can do single cd backup sets
off of it. I haven't tried a multi-cd one.

I am sure this question has come across before, I just can't seem to find
the answer.

I would like to generate a set of CDs as a backupset for a client.

How do I go about this?

Current environment is TSM 4.2.3.1 on Win2K.
