Well, Raminder!
No, there is not a copy of the dbbackup on-site. That is why you perform,
let's say 1 or 2 full dbbackups once a week and incrementals every night.
Also, that is where the LOGMODE of ROLLFORWARD comes into play which would
allow you to restore the db to its most current state.
When you send tapes off-site that does include the dbbackup tape as well,
along with a copy of the volhist and the devconfig files. Dbbackups are
controlled with certain volhist commands for example, query volhist
begind=date etc...update volhist volume_name dev=device class
location=DRsite ormstate=vault
Hope this helps a little,

Subject: Db backup tapes
Hello
We are using TSM 4.1 on win 2k. We do not have DRM yet. Now the TSM db
gets backed up on tape, and we take that tape offsite. Is there any copy of
that db onsite also. My understanding was that it gets backep up to only one
tape. The tapepool gets backep up to copypool to be shipped offsite. Does
that include TSM db backup tape also? Also I am not able to update the
DbBackup volumes as offsite. How can I do that? Or how can I keep a tab on
what gets shipped offsite having Dbbackup.
Thanks
