If I understand what you are saying here is that you want to not only backup the UNIX machines TSM database but the actual tapes as well to another TSM server? There are some options here and it has been a while since I have read up on this and please correct me if I misunderstand or misstate anything. Here we go:
You could export the tapes from your UNIX TSM server and import them into the z/OS server of your choice. You could set it up for off site storage by setting up a mirrored (don't think TSM uses term "mirrored") tape silo. If I remember correctly this involves creating a copy pool that points to a secondary tape silo? My question to you is why are you trying to backup the data on the tapes to another server? Maybe with a little more information on why you are choosing this route, of backing up data that is already backed up, we could better help you. bizzorg <bizzorg@WORLDNE To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T.ATT.NET> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: disaster recovery ?

All our TSM servers run on OS390 or z/OS, except for one UNIX based TSM. This UNIX server is not setup for offsite storage. I think we can back this server up to a TSM on z/OS. How do I backup the backed up data? It's all in a tape silo attached to this UNIX box. Thanks in advance..
