I use COPY POOL. I to am a OS390 guy. I setup a different device class so
there is a different high level qualifier for the offsite COPY POOL. This
works real well with the tape management software, CA-1. By the way, We
executed our DR plan once already with TSM included. It was no problem
without DRM. I think DRM may have a lot more value when you don't have a
good tape management software package. I really don't know for sure because
I never have had it. BUt that is what I have been told...

Subject: Backupsets vs. copy storage pools
Sensitivity: Private
I am in the process of defining an offsite tape library to my TSM 4.1 for
OS/390 server. I have a simple question as to whether I should use
BACKUPSETs or copy storage pools for my creating my offsite data. I do not
have the DRM module but the data at the remote site will be for DR purposes.
Any all help will be greatly appreciated.
