Lars, The Export NODE function would seem to fit your requirements.
tsm> exp no <nodename> devc=3570dev usedv=<location of text file containing vols used on export> A variety of FILEDATA options includes exporting ONLY the space managed files, so we would assume that by selecting FILEDATA=ALL, that would include the space managed files. Hope this helps.. btw - wouldn't like to give an estimate for how long it would take to restore 130GB from a backupset - perhaps someone else with experience would?

We are going to rebuild a TSM environment from scratch but want to retain a the HSM data residing on an optical library. Let's suppose we destroy the TSM DB and start with a new clean one. TSM will have forgotten all about the optical volumes as well as the data on it. Backupsets will give me the opportunitiy to restore stand-alone into a newly created HSM-Filesystem. The first option would be copying the data into a disk filesystem large enough to hold all the recalled data (130GB in our case) and later on migrate it back. Apart from that option, what do I do if I haven't got the necessary disk space available? I could store on tape and the only thing that came to my mind was backupsets. I tried to create one using the HSM filespace but it only wrote the directories to tape, not the files. Would this be a case for an export/import?
