Re: [ADSM-L] TDP for Exchange VSS backup destination issue
2009-04-30 08:01:40
Hi Steve,
I can't 100% tell from the information below...
... but your conclusions look correct... i.e. when you do
a backup to BOTH... it is almost like creating two "backups"...
... one stored locally and bound to your "VSS_DISKONLY" management class
and another one stored on the TSM Server and bound to your "7_DAYS"
management class.
It sounds like the copy destination is getting set incorrectly in this
case.
Can you please open a PMR with IBM? The service team can examine the
traces and find out if the incorrect COPYDEST is being assigned.
Thanks,
Del
