You should backup your storage pool with directory information (its a primary pool), to a secondary storage pool and send that offsite for your disaster recovery! (But its not absolutely required for DR - you can restore your files without the DIRMC information).
If the primary ever gets destroyed, then you can restore that storage pool - at a convenient time. If you are in a disaster, then that storage pool would be one of the first things that get restored to facilitate the restore of your other servers that you would have to do. (Thus try and reduce the number of offsite tapes that information might be spread across). ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 24/10/2003 11:12:34 PM: > What would happen if there was a site disaster and the data was only on the > disk which is no longer available to perform restores? > I guess what I am asking is, without sending DIRMC off-site, can you > recover from a site disaster?
