Looks go except need to do a database backup. We do it at 2.5. All data in the offsite pool is also in the onsite pool. So TSM uses whatever is available. If a copy tape is still onsite it can use it. If not then the reclaim will use the onsite pool to create a new tape for the offsite pool.

Backup disk to offsite tape pool 2. Backup onsite tape pool to offsite tape pool 3. Migration of the disk pools 4. Expire Inventory 5. Reclamation 6. Client Backups (run at night) I was also a little confused about reclamation on offsite storage pools. How can reclamation run on an offsite tape when it cannot be mounted on a tape drive? (On a daily basis I have a job that marks tapes full and offsite so that they are ejected from the silo and taken to our offsite vault) When I looked in the book it stated that reclamation for an offsite volume obtains the active files from either an onsite pool or offsite pool and then writes the files to a volume on the original copy pool. I'm trying to understand this process, but it's not making much sense to me. Any explanations? Thanks!!!
