[gpfsug-discuss] Mmbackup -- list files backed up by incremental run

[Popescu, Razvan]

__.  Yes, I've seen the recommendation in the docs, but failed to see an obvious advantage for my case.  I have 4 separate backup jobs (on the same client), for as many filesets, for which I can set separate schedules.  I guess (?) I could do the same with the TSM scheduler, but it was simpler this way in the beginning when I setup the system, and nothing pushed me to change it since... __

    That is not a "recommended" way to do a TSM backup. You should use a
    schedule where the action is command. See
    
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQVQ_8.1.0/srv.reference/r_cmd_schedule_client_define.html
    
    and then set the command to be your script.
