for tsm, there is a solution called sysback to tsm, which works in combination of tsm and nim server, you back up to tsm, but you don't back up filesets, the filesets come from nim server, your configuration is backed up of course

so you back up data filesystems in rootvg, fileset configuration, but not the lpp it self, which reduces the amount of space needed a lot
and a big advantage, when booting from nim with sysback you want restore, you can choose vg pp size, lv attributes, lvs to restore and so on

our sysback environment was set up by ibm, don't know how to do this manually, since you need configuratin and extensions on the tsm it self

but if its woth for you, ask your ibm key accounter, or check out redbooks
for sysback to tsm

flash copy is a mechanism of the storage box, it generates a "snapshot" of your luns, this is a part of the management software of your box, sometimes extra licenses are needed

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/advfs_syscalls.h>

       int advfs_set_fset_quotas(
	       char *domainName,
	       char *filesetName,
	       filesetQuotasT *filesetQuotas );

LIBRARY

       AdvFS Library (libadvfs)

PARAMETERS

       A pointer to the name of the domain.  A pointer to the name of the fileset.  A pointer to a structure that contains the fileset quotas.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function associates the fileset quotas that are specified in the filesetQuotas structure with the fileset specified by the domainName
       and filesetName parameters.

       Note that the advfs_get_set_quotas function does not set: user or group quota information grace time information

       Use the quotactl system call instead.  See the quotactl(2) reference page for information.

RESTRICTIONS

       At least one fileset in the domain nust be mounted.

       Clone filesets cannot have fileset quotas.  If you attempt to set fileset quotas for a clone fileset, an error occurs.

RETURN VALUES

       The function returns a value of 0 (zero) on successful completion.  The function returns a value of -1 on failure and  sets  the  value	of
       errno to the specific error.

ERRORS

       The  function  sets errno to the specified errors for the following failure conditions: The calling program is not running with root privi-
       leges.  No fileset in the file domain has been mounted.	The *filesetQuotas parameter contains invalid data.  An I/O error occurred on  one
       of  the disks in the file domain.  The filesetId parameter does not refer to an existing fileset.  There is not enough memory available for
       the operation.  The fileset is mounted read-only:  it may be a clone fileset.  Clone filesets cannot have fileset quotas.
