While the state is cutting 9% of the University's budget, it is a tremendous waste to throw away 1200 perfectly fine tapes. Now my boss wants to know if there is a way we can use the J tapes for the offsite storage pool only. I looked throught the Admin Reference and there doesn't seem to be a way to do: backup stgpool tapepool tapeback scratch=no volumenames=file:listof3590 Any suggestions? server: TSM 4.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3 tape library: 3494 Thanks, Eliza Lau Virginia Tech Computing Center 1700 Pratt Drive Blacksburg, VA 24060 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
