Thanks for the feedback so far. An archive is out of question due to the 'schedule maintenance' that would be required as William pointed out and due to the bandwith anyway. But the 'export node' mentioned by Maurice is a possibility that I will try out further. A good suggestion tht I didn't think yet of. What happens if the data on the export expires in the TSM database due to the management class it is bound to. Can it still be imported and bound to a new management class? best regards, Kurt

And when an admin adds a drive to a node without letting you know? Or removes one and now your schedules fail because D:\*.* doesn't exist? Whose fault does that end up being when they can't restore the data you said you were archiving for them? And if your requirements are that you be able to BMR a box to a monthly state, archive is out of the question. I would sooner use archive, don't get me wrong, but there's just not a DOMAIN that you can specify to archive and have it pick up everything in that DOMAIN. Like backup. With changes when those pesky admins change things and don't communicate it back to you.
