Changes to this message: Bug fix available Update (Nov. 22, 2011): We have installed a pre-release (i.e. Beta) update to the software which again allows to recursively perform archivation, solving the problem described below. Please report to us if this software release does not perform for you as expected. The final release of the TSM update will become available end of December. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently on SuperMIG a problem with archiving and backup exists. The command for recursively archiving directories (e.i., the -subdir option) does not work. Instead of using dsmc ar -subdir=yes ./mydirectory please use the following workaround until the bug is fixed, find ./mydirectory > filelist.txt dsmc ar filelist=filelist.txt IBM is informed and is working on a solution.
