Yes there is ... Do a search on FCIP in the mailing list there should be a couple posts.... Essentially you have a TSM Library manager at an offsite location hooked to a Tape Library, then use server to server communications and have Site A create its offsite copy to site b etc.....
FYI - There's no Master / Media server concept, I know I may a bit retentive here but its one of those things that just bugs, like the Don't use the Hair Dryer in the Shower label.... -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 6:52 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Question: Is this possible with TSM? Is it possible using multiple master servers (vaulting?) to make a secondary backup in an alternate location? Example: Assume you do cross-site backups between 2 sites. siteA -> backup to -> siteB (has its own master) siteB -> backup to -> siteA (has its own master) If you have another site, call it siteC, can you do this with vaulting/or some other way? siteA -> backup to -> siteB (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC siteB -> backup to -> siteA (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC Keep in mind siteA,B,C each have their own master server. What would be the best way to accomplish this? This would solve the problem of a dual site failure. I already asked this on the veritas-bu mailing list, there are 'workarounds' or ways to do this but not how I had envisioned it. Is this possible with TSM? Or is there a way to make TSM HA so you could have the same master clustered across 3 different sites so if two went away there would be no problems? Justin.
