The only diffrence between mksysb and the backup command is this. mksysb Tape has 4 Sectors
BOS Boot Image Blocksize=512 Witch holds: Kernel, Device Drivers mkinsttape image Bloksize=512 Witch holds: ./image.data, /tapeblksz, /bosinst.data, commands dummy.toc Blockzise=512 Witch holds: Dummy TOC (dosen´t do anything) and last Tape Drive BS witch holds: rootvg data. (this data is exactly the same as you would use the backup command) Now the first 3 sectors canot be used when restoring TSM. you can however backup this data with the DD command, but for what use? what i am saying is this. the advantece of mksysb goes the minute you can´t boot from the tape and you can´t boot a mksyb in TSM, becuase TSM handels these 3 fist sectors as they where ordenary data.

Like Jason Barkes said; make a mksysb to a local filesystem and backup/archive is to TSM. We do it like that, but we use NIM to restore a MKSYSB over the network. An other option is mkcd, which is included in AIX 4.3.3. With this u can put a ksysb directly on a cd, even span multiple volumes. The cd can also be made bootable. Take a look here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds3/mkcd.ht m Hope this helps... Ilja G.

Then use DD to copy the file to a diks and use TSM to back it up. But still i don´t understand why you should wana back up mksysb, when you can´t boot form a TSM tape on AIX, then it would make your mksysb useless.
