New features: MMC GUI• Requirements:– Supported Platforms:

32-bit: Windows Server 2008 SP264-bit: Windows Server 2008 SP2, 2008 R2, 2012Remote Capabilities Only: 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 Professional or Ultimate64-bit Windows 8 Professional or E nterprisehttp://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21654309#Operating%20S ystems

–Microsoft prerequisites (must be installed seperatly)Windows Powershell 3.0 or Windows Powershell 4.0Windows Management F ramework 3.0 or Windows Management F ramework 4.0Other prerequisites are installed with MMC GUIhttp://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21654309#MS%20Prereqs

Setting up new features: MMC GUIIf PowerShell 3.0 is missing:

Windows Management Framework 3.0 must be installed on Windows Server 2008, 2008R2 and Windows 7http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=34595

Setting up new features: MMC GUI

• Enable PS Remoting 1) Enable-PSRemoting -force on both machines2) If you are using Microsoft Exchange, complete the following steps:

On the primary system, enter the following command:enable-wsmancredssp -role client -delegatecomputer remote_computername

On each remote system that runs Microsoft Exchange, enter the following command:enable-wsmancredssp -role server

3) Add either the FlashCopy Manager servers to the trusted hosts list by entering the following command:Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value remote_server_name -Force

4) After making configuration changes, restart the winrm service by entering the following commands:Restart-Service winrm

New features: Data Protection for SQL S erver – Restoring from VM snapshot

New features: Data Protection for SQL S erver – Restoring from VM snapshot

• Setup1) On the datamover mac hine (L inux or Window s ):

Use the Data Protection for VMware 7.1 super installer with the Data Mover only option:Installs license tdp4vmw.lic enabling ‘application protection’ and TSM4VE 7.1 including TSM b/a client 7.1

2) On the gues t VM w ith MS S QL :Use Data Protection for VMware 7.1 super installer with Instant Restore Only option:TSM for VE Recovery Agent 7.1 including tdp4vmw.lic for invoking restore functionTSM B/A Client 7.1

Ins ta ll Data Protec tion for S QL 7.1Run Configuration Wizard to TSM Server

New features: Data Protection for SQL S erver – Restoring from VM snapshot

• Configuration on data moverAfter installing TSM for VE 7.1 on the data mover machine you need to perform the following configuration steps:1) Add a virtual machine for application protection:

Add to options file: include.vmtsmvss <vm_ name>Add to include.vmtsmvss <VM> OPTions=KE E PSqllog to preserve SQL logs

2) dsmc set password -type=vmguest vmguestname AdminID AdminPswd3) Backup VM and verify backup

dsmc backup vm <vm name>dsmc query vm <vm name> -detail

New features: Data Protection for SQL S erver – Restoring from VM snapshot• Configuration on VM guest with SQL Server installed

After installing TSM for VE Recovery Agent 7.1 and DP for SQL 7.1 on the guest VM machine you need to perform the following configuration steps:Configure DP for SQL using TSM Wizard, specify the datacenter node in the Nodes panel

● Run set access command on datamover machinedsmc set access backup – type=vm <vm_name> <dsmagent_node>dsmc query access

Output should be:Type Node User Path------ -------------------------------------------------------------------Backup <dsmagent_node> * \VMFULL-<vmname>\*\*

● LimitationsSupported disk types (in guest):MS SQL DB files must be located on Windows disks of Type=“Basic” and Partition S tyle = “Master Boot Record (MBR)” Disks of Type=“Dynamic” or Partition S tyle = “GUID Partition Table (GPT)” are NOT supported.

Restore to alternate locations is disabled in MMC GUI

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server

• Powershell cmd letsAutomate your backup/recovery tasks

• Additional options for restoring personal storage foldersRestore to unicode .pst files without 2 GB limitation

• Improved mailboxhistory handling• Automated failover for data recovery

In conjunction with node replication on TSM Server• Restoring mailboxes directly from Exchange

database files• Exchange 2010 SP2 and Exchange 2013

supported

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server PS -cmdlets

• Installation similar to Data Protection for SQL Server

Only modules are different: import-module .\FmModuleExc.dll import-module .\FmModuleMMC.dll

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server Unicode PS T

• Restore either from CLI or MMC GUItdpexcc restoremailbox user /mailboxrestoredestination=unicodepst,“c:\restore.pst“

• Support of double byte character sets

• No 2 GB limitation for pst size

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server Unicode PS T

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server - Mailboxhistory

• To switch to new mailboxinfo, old filespace must be deleted in prior:1. Backup your mailbox history:

tdpexcc q tsm /showmailboxinfo > e:\mailboxhist.out

2. Examine the correct filespace QUERY FILESPACE < DAGNode/DPNode> *MAILBOXINFO

3. DELete Filespace < DAGNode/DPNode> FS_Name\MAILBOXINFO

• New Mailbox info is created during backup whenstoremailboxinfo yes

● Better performance due to an enhanced query algorithm

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server – Direct E DB Restore from TDP4VE backup• Mount a VM Backup which was taken with

include.vmtsmvss < vm_name> with TDP4VE Recovery Mount Agent

• Readwrite Access is mandatory• Extract single mailbox items without restoring

mailbox database to RDB• No automatic mount available as for SQL Server

backups• Replaces Fastback for Exchange solution which

was used in TDP4VE 6.4.

New features: Data Protection for E xchange Server – Direct E DB Restore• Prerequisites– Must be installed on an Exchange Mailbox Server– Install MAPI/CDO 1.2.1 prior to installation of

TDPExchange. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42040

– Log on with an user who is part of the Exchange Organization Management Group.

– Run the FCMSetup.exe of the Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server 7.1 release as described in the manual Install Mailbox Restore Only option

Use Case: Combine S QL Server backups from VM snapshots with Log backups of DPSQL• Setup full backups using TDP4VE and keep log files

INCLUDE.VMTSMVSS <vm display name> OPTions=KEEPSqllog

• Create a schedule in MMC GUI or TSM Server to perform regulary log backups to TSMtdpsqlc backup * log /truncate=yes

• Keep in mind the versions are handled in different TSM nodes: Full backups are managed by DataCenterNodeLog backups are managed by DP Node

Use Case: Combine S QL Server backups from VM snapshots with Log backups of DPSQL• To recover a database run first the full restore from

VM snapshot:tdpsqlc restore database full /backupmethod=vmvss /recovery=no

• Recover the log files from log backups:tdpsqlc restore database log /object=ObjectID /recovery=yes

When you perform the restore using MMC GUI make sure the autoselect option is set to false in Restore Options
