Define device class and backup db.

Basically you define a device class that looks something like:


    Device Class Name: SERVERA
evice Access Strategy: Sequential
   Storage Pool Count: 0
          Device Type: FILE
               Format: DRIVE
Est/Max Capacity (MB): 71,680.0
          Mount Limit: 1
     Mount Wait (min):
Mount Retention (min):
         Label Prefix:
         Drive Letter:
              Library:
            Directory: \\SERVERA\G$
          Server Name:
         Retry Period:
       Retry Interval:
             Twosided:
               Shared:
   High-level Address:
     Minimum Capacity:
                 WORM: No
      Scaled Capacity:

Your server has to have access to SERVERA\G$ (you can set TSM server service
to log on with an account with access there).

Then issue BACKUP DB DEVCLASS=SERVERA ....

Subject: RTFM Assistance

I would like to do a dbbackup to a disk on another server, but not part of a
storage pool, just to a file (that will be on a separate machine).
Could someone please tell me where to RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) so I can
get this right?

I would be happy either doing this from a command file (batch file) or from
a scheduled TSM administrative script.

My environment is Windows 2000 server with TSM 4.3.1 server.

Thanks ... Jack
