Re: [ADSM-L] Option other than a Backupset: Help!






Hi David,

They would like backupsets created so that when we have a dr drill they
can restore the filesystems that I put in the backupset immediately and
very quickly without needing many tape mounts, etc.  So it's mainly a
performance & timing issue.

Also, for onsite needs if they ever need to rebuild it would be a lot
quicker for them as well.

If there is a better way of doing this or another method that makes more
sense I am open to any suggestions.  Thanks!

Re: Option other than a Backupset: Help!






My first question when I hear a request like this is always "why do they
want it?"

I ask because it may be possible to give the customer what they want
with a better solution. Customers are good at saying what they need but
not always so good at finding the best way to fill that need.

What problem is backupsets suppose to address?

Hello everyone,

Several of my customers want backupsets created of their data.   I
really
don't have the extra tape drives to spare to do this, so what might be
your suggestion in getting a centralized backup of their critical
filesystems?  My TSM server is on AIX 5.3 and is at release 5.2.7.1.
Any
suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
