Error description
The TSM 6.4 client supports Windows 2012, which introduced the ReFS filesystem. While the 6.4 client does support ReFS for most functions, there is an issue with a particular type of image restore. The command 'DSMC RESTORE IMAGE -INCREMENTAL' does not apply file system changes made after the image backup. Image restore of the ReFS volume completes successfully, but no file system changes made after the image backup are appliec.
Local fix
Instead of doing restore image with the 'incremental' option, perform the operation in two steps: 1- restore image 2- restore changes
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Backup-archive client versions 6.3 and 6.4 * * running on Microsoft Windows 2012. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: See ERROR DESCRIPTION * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fixing level when available. This * * problem is currently projected to be fixed * * in levels 6.3.2 and 6.4.1. Note that this is * * subject to change at the discretion of IBM. * **************************************************************** TSM Client does fail to correctly recognize the new file system ReFS. The file system was introduced in Windows 2012. The result of the incorrect ReFS identification is the failure to apply changes to a file system after image restore has been completed.
Problem conclusion
TSM client file system identification code was updated to correctly identify ReFS. After this code change TSM Client successfully completes the "incremental" part of 'restore image -incremental' command.
Temporary fix
A fix for this problem is currently targeted for interim fix package 6.4.0.1. Until the interim fix is actually available this information is subject to change at the discretion of IBM.
