Us Symmetrix users don't have such a restriction. :-) But for the original discussion: think about FlashCopy (or your storage system's equivalent) as a way to restore your datafiles (in case of a database) very fast. By restoring them from the FlashCopy, you don't need to restore them from TSM. -- Jurjen Oskam "I often reflect that if "privileges" had been called "responsibilities" or "duties", I would have saved thousands of hours explaining to people why they were only gonna get them over my dead body." - Lee K.
