If you create a LiteSpeed backup to TSM using the GUI and then output the CMD Line script, the script that is generated is wrong.
Instead of using -C (uppercase) for compression level, it uses -c (lowercase) which is the parameter to set the TSM nodename.
This causes backups to fail when using this script.
The LiteSpeed GUI generates an incorrect script: -c3 should be -C3:
sqllitespeed.exe -Bdatabase -D"master" -c3 -I -n"master - Full Database Backup" -d"Full Backup of master on 1/13/2009 2:01:05 PM" -i"SQLBackups\testserver\master" -j"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\LSdsm.opt" -WSKIP -S"testserver" -U"sa" -P"***"
Software Defect
WORKAROUND:
Manually change the -c to -C in the generated script.
e.g.
sqllitespeed.exe -Bdatabase -D"master" -C3 -I -n"master - Full Database Backup" -d"Full Backup of master on 1/13/2009 2:01:05 PM" -i"SQLBackups\7TZXKF1\master" -j"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\LSdsm.opt" -WSKIP -S"7tzxkf1" -U"sa" -P"***"
STATUS:
Waiting for fix in a future release of LiteSpeed for SQL Server
