DRM makes all this very easy, and tracks all tapes moves them onsite offsite,
etc
Also creates  disaster recovery plan file every day , which contents scripts  to
recover from disaster.
i also have some pearl scripts which mails me  all this info  and prints copy
for operators to carry tapes offsite and onsite
I tested DRM   at  Disaster recovery site and worked  very well .. Without DRM
its bit difficult
to pass DR test ..  my opinion ..

DRM?????   WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING DRM!!!!!

We do it manually.  We decided that any/all/only offsite COPYPOOL tapes
that are FULL would be sent offsite first thing Wed a.m. We mark them as
access=offsite.  We have perl scripts that follow these rules.
COPYPOOL tapes that are offsite & pending are recalled on a 3 week
rotation.  we do 3 db backups and since now there's SNAPSHOT we use that
but still printout all the volume lists and volhist , etc that we can
we backup volhist and devconfig to floppy disk and send all that out too.

...    joe.f.

But I still pray I've done enough since management doesn't see the need
for disaster recovery drills (yet) and I haven't been given a chance to
test my setup.   Wanna lend me an AIX with 35Gigs of free disk space????
