Windows File Server Monthly
Thanks for the answer. Here is a bit more info. We run a library 3584 with 7 LTO2 drives. The monthly backup of the file server is required to be kept 7 years. It contains about 3 millions files or so... As of right now, a backupset of this server takes about 2 whole days to complete. It is...- Outsyder

Hi guys. How do you deal with monthly backups of a Windows File Server? Which contains tons of files...Do you generate a backupset? Create an archive? What is the best procedure? Thanks.- Outsyder

Modifying FC configuration values...
HI. I need to update the values of the Dynamic Tracking on our FC cards. I read that this can be done live but it seems that the child of the FC card have to be in a defined state. In one doc, i read that i could do a rmdev -l fscsi0 -R to get the child devices defined. Then i could run my... -
TSM server DB backup.
Thanks for the reply. I show 9 of them when issuing the command, but i have about 20 of them at my offsite location. Something must have happened and they are not being brought back... I'll see if i can find out why. Maybe 9 is a bit much too...I may get that # number down. Thanks.- Outsyder

FC Dyntrk and Fast IO Failure
Hi. We've been running with the same FC configuration for ever...(since we did not know the option existed until today) with the option for dyntrk=no and fc_err_recov=delayed_fail. Last weekend, we tried to migrate some DS8300 ports from one switch to another and our AIX servers paths would... -
Reclamation Best Practice?
Thank you for the response. I will give the query a try. So if i understand this correctly, if i were to find a nice, long 'quiet' time period, i could try running a reclaim at 60%, which would free up some tapes and allow me to recuperate some Scratch tapes? It seems like we are eating up...- Outsyder

Query for a file within a node backup?
Hello. I was looking for a way to query the database for a specific file within a specific node. We have a user that needs a file restored, but does not remember the location of the file within the filesystems (an AIX box). A 'find' of the file in question directly on the AIX box does not...- Outsyder
