Yes, you can eject tape cartridges from the IBM TS4500 and TS4300 tape libraries then move those tape cartridges wherever you want. Here's the information for the TS4500, for example: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ts4500-tape-library?topic=managing-removing-tape-cartridges The whitepaper I linked to in my previous post includes a section entitled "DFSMSrmm Stacked Volume Support" starting on page 13 with a typical scenario that assumes physical backup tapes will be ejected/removed from the IBM TS4300 tape library, stored in a vault somewhere, then (optionally, for non-WORM tape) retrieved and reused for new backups as older backups age out. That section runs for several pages and describes the various steps in some detail. If I'm missing the gist of your question, please follow up. ————— Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM Z/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
