It sounds like it would be a two step process: 1) output the Backup Set to a
file then 2) burn the file to a CD.
It may require defining a storage pool (DEF STG pool_name DISK ...), then
creating one volume in that pool (DEF VOL pool_name volume_name ...), and
creating the backup set to that volume (DEF BACKUPSET node_name
bckup_set_name DEV=device_class_name VOL=volume_name). You may also need to
define a new device class (DEF DEV device_class_name DEVT=FILE MAXCAP=???M
DIR=directory_name).

Subject: Creating a Client Backup Set???
Hi all-
I have been asked to create a client backup set for the purpose of
restoring a client in the event that the TSM Server is not available via
the network.
I am supposed to burn the backup set to cd. This way I can walk up to the
client, put in the cd, and restore locally from the cd.
Here is my question: Where is the default output of the backup set? Where
does it go -- to tape? Is there a way to create the backup set onto the
hard disk rather than tape?
How does the Device Class fit into this?
I am trying to figure out how I am supposed to transfer the backup set to
cd-rom. One more issue: the cd Burner is NOT local to the tsm server, it
is accross the network.
Tsm server is 3.7.4 on AIX RS/6000.
