    He wants to make daily full backup which like below setup is that possible

    Monday –tape 1

    Tuesday –tape 2

    Wednesday –tape3

    Thursday–tape 4

    Friday–tape 5

    Saturday–tape 6

    Sunday–tape 7


    All are different tape which he will be use tapes every week like rotation

  15. If different backups will have differnet filespace names, then try using collocation=filespace option. But this is waste of tape resources.

  19. Hi,

    I have doubt. DB team used DB catalog and deleted the old backup pieces using RMAN catalogue.
    But the pieces were not deleted in TSM. Hence we used the TSM cmd and ran tdposync syncdb command with DB catalog and deleted the backup pieces which are in TSM and not in catalog. Now we rechecked in TSM q occ and found no backup pieces and we realized that we used wrong catalog. Now how can we restore the backups which we deleted. We have the backup pieces list in hand which gathered before deletion. Will it helpful in restoring the backups? Can we restore the backups?

    1. Hi,

      try to restore individual backup pieces, am not sure it will work.

      once you delete is a delete from the tsm db and storage. you cannot restore it back. But if you have copy storage pools in another location and reusedelay option enabled, you can stop the reclamation process and try to restore data but still the old tsm db must be restored on another tsm server. This is a long and tiring process.

      otherwise, if node replication is enabled and second tsm server has different policy settings you can restore it.
