I think you are correct. If this is a frequent problem for you, Autovault from coderelief.com supports ejection/vaulting of Backupsets.

TSM 5.1.9.0 Is there some command(s) that would allow sequential, one-step processing of backupset volumes similar to the operation of the Move Media command for storage pools? For example, Move Media will check out the library volume, alter its access to read-only, set its location to the Overflow Location, and eject the volume from the library with just one command. And it will process all relevant volumes if "*" is given as the volume name. So if you have a dozen storage pool volumes to eject, one command processes all 12 tapes in order. You just collect them from the library and Reply when each is removed from the library's I/O slot. Simple. If those same 12 tapes are part of a Backupset, as far as I can tell, you must check out each tape individually, update its Location field individually, etc. That's 24 commands for a Backupset where just one is needed for a storage pool. Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance. Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram, L.L.C.
