This gets into integrity and recovery issues. Typically, a database backup is never on the same tapes as the logs are. That way you can take any backup of the database and roll forward with the logs. You apparently have 2 different management classes or storage pools. What you have implemented is the way to do it probably, but you should see the same tape remounted for the next backup cycle unless you have used collation to somehow separate the data.

Hi All... I4m using TSM 4.2, TDP for R3 3.2.0.6 in a SAN environment. When the backup with TDP begins, TSM mounts a tape and all the database data is backed up, after the DB backup TSM dismounts the tape and mounts another one to backup control data (logs, aff). The second 100 GB LTO tape just have 500 KB of occupancy. It occurrs in the same backup session. The backup is using two tapes in the same session. Thanks for the help...
