COLLOCATE is the answer. -----Original Message----- From: Wholey, Joseph (TGA\MLOL) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 10:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: backing up to tape/OS/390
Environment: System/390 device type: Cartridge/3590 TSM 4.1.3 Server TSM client 3.1.06 Scenario: I get notified in advance that I'll need to restore multiple clients (gigs worth of data) on a given weekend. I manually kick off a base backup to a "spare" TSM server on Friday night so when the call comes in (over the weekend) to restore the servers, I restore from a relatively quiet TSM server. I'm not contending with the production backup cycle. The problem: This backed up data gets migrated to tape prior to my restore. Invariably, multiple servers' data ends up on one tape. i.e. only one server can restore at a time. The question: Is there a way to direct the backup data of a particular server to a specific tape so I can run multiple restores from multiple tapes at the same time? This is killing me... Good suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Joe
