SWIT3, You can label more tapes or check them in, whatever you desire.
TSM is smart enough to know what it has and hasn't done, in this case at least. The process will be a new one but it won't have to recopy or migrate data that has already been migrated or copied. Good luck! Gabriel C.

I have another question for you. What should I do if I under estimate the volumn of the data, the backup process requires to mount a new tape because the mounted tape is full, but I am run out of the labeled & "check in" scratch tape at this moment. What will TSM do in this situiation? Does I have to terminate the back up process, prepare enough labeled tapes and check in all of them, and restart the backup process from the beginning. Or there is a chance that I can resume my back up process after I found some available tapes? Sincerely and Best Regards.

Then TSM will request you to unmount the full tape and mount a particular scratch tape. You can run "mountmode" console which will display the messages. _____________________________ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc 630 357 7744 x338 "D.

The volumes have to be already labelled & checked into the library as SCRATCH volumes. Then, TSM will automatically mount a SCRATCH volume and proceed with the data write. If not you will have numerous insufficient space errors in the activity log. Thanks, Demetrius A.
