APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
The documentation needs clarification on how the compression feature is applied when selected for the backups (for example in conjunction with sub-file or email backups). Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations 6.3.x and 7.1.x on Windows Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: Spectrum Protect encryption compression email backup replication sub-file bitmap
Local fix
1. For files defined as eligible for continuous backups and scheduled backups : If both compression and sub-file copy are enabled, then the files that are smaller than the sub-file copy limit will be backed up compressed and the files that exceed this limit will be backed up using sub-file copy (not compressed). If only compression is enabled, the same rule applies knowing that the default sub-file limit is then set to 1 TB. 2. For files defined as eligible for email backups (specified in the 'Email Application list' field) : These files are backed up using email bitmap backup which doesn't have any tunable limit on file size, i.e. all specified files are backed up using this feature disregarding their size. Therefore, compression is not used for these files.
