I don't think that server-to-server will fix it. If Server 1 sends the data to be stored on Server 2 (as it's offsite backup), and then Server 1 fails, you can't just do the restore with Server 2.
Only Server 1 has the right metadata in it's data base to do the restore. -----Original Message----- From: Malbrough, Demetrius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 9:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Working with two servers -Luciano- It seems to me that you want to set up Server-to-Server communications or Server-to-Server virtual volumes.

I have one TSM server (server 1) running and in one office and I would like to add a new server (server 2) to work together in other room. Is this possible ? Can I make backup on server 1 and restore on server 2 easily ? Is possible to work with this servers separately (e.g. if server 1 crashes, the server 2 get the control) ? What is the way ? All hints will be welcome !! The server 1 has a library Compaq Model T892 with 2 drivers DLT 35/70 and a storage Proliant U2 8 disks X 9Gb. The server 2 has a manual library (Compaq DLT 35/70) Thanks in advance for your responses L.A.
