Hello Neil, Yes that's no problem, we already have 1 taperobot for the 1-st backup and 1 taperobot for the copy tapes (fiber).
Rolf.
Rolf, Have you verified that the link between the data centers can handle the data traffic generated during client backups? Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD.

What is the best/easiest way to do this? As far as I can see I have to setup schedules/policy domains/policy sets/ management classes/backup and archive copy groups for both datacenters to be able to backup nodes to different tape-robots (device classes) as this is configured with "Copy destination" in the copy groups. Am I correct in this assumption? Anybody antoher idea? Windows 2003/TSM server 5.3. Rolf.
