What kind of shelf life are you expecting for your media? Since they've discovered that optical has data decay, it's not even "forever"! I've seen some others on the list point at it, but how will you restore this data in 10 years? Here's what I'd look at doing: 1. Take about 5 dbbackups (or

Wanda... or anyone... one question. When changing retention settings for a management class, are they immediately processed by TSM or does the next backup have to run to rebind all the files to the new class settings ? If it is the latter, the files that no longer exist on the client, but are sti

Do you use DRM and if so, do you copy all primary pools? If so, snapshot a DB backup and have your offsite people box up all your current offsite tapes plus this snapshot. Very carefully mark those boxes! Back at the TSM server, mark all these volumes as "destroyed" and let them be re-created as y
