Eliza,
You could explicitly define all your J volumes to your offsite pool, and
move them based on their STATUS (not EMPTY).
DEFINE VOLUME TAPEBACK j_tape_volume
.

.
BACKUP STG TAPEPOOL TAPEBACK
Q VOL STG=TAPEBACK STATUS=FULL,FILLING ACC=READWRITE

Subject: replacing all 3590 with 3590 extended
Hi TSMers,
We are looking into replacing 1200 3590 J tapes with 600 3590 extended
length
K tapes to make room in the 3494. 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,
