HI, Thanks - and sorry I did not give specific details.
I am AIX 4.3.3 with TSM 4.2.1.9 on and THIN SP2 node with a 3494 Tape library. We currently do not have DRM, and are using an offsite rotation to another building on our hospital campus. We have 2 Alpha ES40's, AIX sp frame with 7 nodes, 10 Netfinity servers, 23 NT servers, 1 linux, 2 proliants, 4 Solaris - as you can see - a real mixed bag - so any help would be appreciated.

I am in an AIX / TSM /DRM environment and we do mksysb tapes of our production servers and store them offsite. In addition, we allow TSM/DRM to decide which tapes are needed offsite in the event of a disaster. If a disaster occurred, we have contingency servers available at an offsite location (in case this location no longer exists) and we would ship copies of the DRM Prepare plan and associated recovery files along with all DRM (offsite tapes) to this location. We would then rebuild the servers (including the TSM Server) affected using mksysb tapes and then reapply production stuff (like Informix databases and critical apps) using the DRM media.

I would appreciate it if I could get any sites, information from any of you that have already gone down this road. I also would like to here any horror stories, or bad reviews about any of the major players in DRM. Do any of you use Tivoli DRM, Autovault, or any other third party software? I am pretty new to the list - so if this has already been hashed over in detail - let me know - and I'll go searching!
