Thomas, Unfortunately there is no short-cut to avoid reading the admin guide as it is important to have a complete understanding of the process. Without that basic understanding it could be a real challenge to explain it to you.
There is a very good example in the guide that steps through the process and then explains how to implement it. At that point should you have any explicit question post them here and we will be glad to assist you. -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Taylor Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 11:30 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape rotation Hello all, Can anyone direct me to a good document that explains how to manage tapes in TSM. I have backups copying from a disk pool to a tape pool but I don't understand how to determine which tape should go off site and which shouldn't. There is of course the administrator's guide but I was hoping maybe there was something a little more clear and straight forward before I attempt to read more of the guide and decipher its meaning.
