This would possibly be a good thing to do for an offsite recovery server with access to replicated TSM data. One problem with using TSM for this is files that have been deleted from the original server. You'd need to determine which files have been deleted from the source server so you could do the same on your backup file system.

Drive D:\ is changing everyday and sends the incremental backup to TSM. Can I sync D:\ with above USB disk using TSM restore? Initially, d:\ and USB disk have identical contents, I need to sync them occasionally. Thanks.
