I'm pretty sure that it is not an "exclusive lock" on AIX

Um A little too vague there... It all depends on the type of
data and the tapes...
For 3590e drives we see somewhere between 30GB and 120GB per
tape depending on the compressibility of the data.
For 3592 drives, it's somewhere between 300GB and 1TB per tape.
So
Scary? Sure, if a tape goes bad, but that's why we have

We are also wrestling with the pros/cons of using NDMP. As you

copies for offsite storage. It really puts a big hole in a DR plan.

Those are the 2 filesets you need. The other thing you may have
to do is configure the library manager so that it will accept the TCP/IP
connections from your DR host.
It's been a while since I've done it, but it's in the menu under
"LAN host connections" or something like that.
We just went though a similar exercise. We have LTO2 drives and
libraries at remote sites, and are very satisfied with them, so we were
more than willing to make the change if needed. In the end we decided to
leave our 4 3494 libraries in place and replace the 3590E drives with
3592s.
