Yes, for our "important" collocated nodes. That one tape per node
contains the results of the most recent "reclaim" (actually a MOVE DATA)
and the current nights backup.

We colocate onsite and offsite tapes for all of our important (in a DR
sense) nodes. TSM runs on a dedicated machine with dedicated tape
drives. Backups run at night. Thus the machine and tape drives are
available all day for backup storagepool, migrate, and reclaim. Since

Hello Adam,

NODENAME and NODENAME_ACTIVE. NODENAME would be your normal daily
backups keeping x versions for y months. NODENAME_ACTIVE would be a
separate incremental backup of the same client that you backup to a
management class th
