Re: [ADSM-L] Question about replication 7.1.3.100

Robert,

I am still pretty much old school when it comes to managing structured vs unstructured data, in that you keep them separate. But with Spectrum Protect (SP) 7.1.3 we need to start thinking differently. In my experience with the product so far, I doesn't seem to make a difference since everything stays in the container. SP containers determines what gets deduped and what doesn't as it performs in-line deduplication, it does away with those time consuming tasks of Reclamation and migration.
I have multiple customers that are using a single container for all of there data and I have not experienced any problems with backups or restores. I have not read anything that states you should separate the two.

This is my opinion based on my experience with the product, and may not be the official best practice of IBM.

Best Regards,

Hi to all I want to implant a replication server with TSM server 7.1.3.100 and to use the new feature for STGpool “Directory Containers”. I want to replicate backups of Oracle DB , TDP for SAP , TDP for Exchange and regular files. I am wondering if is better to create on the replicate server several STG pools or only a big one ??? Any experience ? ideas will be really appreciate. Source and Target servers are with: · Windows 2008/2012 R2 64B · TSM server version 7.1.3.100 · TSM client version 7.1.3.1.
