Something like this would move the node's data to fresh tapes in the same storage pool: MOVE NODEDATA some_node FROMSTGPOOL=some_pool As Marc said, though, as long as collocation at the pool level is set to either NODE or GROUP, there is no difference between a node being in no collocation group, and a node being in a collocation group that has no other nodes. As for starting a full backup, the TSM terminology is somewhat confusingly "selective backup". I'm not sure if this will start a VSS backup but it will backup all the eligible files in your backup domain.
