I understand that the data in on tape on the UNIX TSM server in question
but why are you trying to backup data on tape to another server when there
may be better/easier ways of getting the data off site and safe in case of
a disaster?  Why not create a copy pool and point it to a small section of
your silo, use that to collocate and copy your critical data to and then
export those tapes and take them off site.  Then in the case of a disaster
you could restore the TSM server from the "mksysb you make every month of
your system disk" (right), get your TSM server up and running and import
the tapes.  Just a suggestion.  Or maybe you  have a very legitimate reason
for going this route that I am unaware of, please inform me.

Thank you for your patience with my babbling.

There are business critical servers backing up to the TSM on this UNIX
server.  I understood that the backup data is on tape.  It is that data we
need to recover in a disaster situation.

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.

I hope someone out there can help.

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..
