Rants etc.....

Rant of the unlucky IT guy:

So we had a planned power outage this weekend at our disaster recovery site, which just happens to be the site where my backup servers live (I'm a backup admin). We shut down the serves prior to the power outage, and one of them didn't want to come up afterwards. :angry2: I started work at 7:30AM this morning, and I'm still here (9:30PM, and nowhere near done yet), eagerly awaiting IBM guidance. Oh and pizza, since I never had a chance to eat supper. Your taxpayers dollars hard at work! :doh: I now hate everything IBM. DB2, TSM, you name it I hate it! :bananafunky:

Signed, government stooge!

Was the talk of the day (and most probably for the rest of the week) at work, all day-long with first rumors, then the announcement at 1600.

I can well imagine it was. :)

My first thought was surprise that it's basically giving the majority stake Airbus for free, but then the magnitude of the market it opens up started to dawn on me, especially when you consider that Airbus doesn't really have a competing product.

Does TSM ever work? Sounds like it doesn't. It's never worked when I've asked our backup people to restore servers for me :whistle:

It actually works quite well, but it doesn't do OS backups, so no bare metal recovery. If you're using the VM components (which I don't have experience with), those are capable of doing VM snapshot recovery. Other than that, it works well if you know your data. If your app guys ASSume you can just recover to any point in time, without thinking about that BEFOREHAND, then it gets a bad rap. TSM works on an incremental forever principle, and doesn't do full backups unless you force it, so you need to know how to configure data management classes properly, and communicate that to app people. File versioning within the backups is critical, and some people miss that.

My sad story ended well though, I think! Server is back up this morning (thanks to Google and not IBM). :clap:
