Given an environment where you pretty much have constant backups occurring to your TSM server 24x7 (say every 2 hours) and thus to your primary pools, how does this affect copying the data to a copypool?
i.e. if my TSM server is currently accepting backups from one or more clients and that data is initially going to my diskpool (migrated to tape as the diskpool fills) - now suddenly I kick off a backup stgpool to a copypool from that diskpool. With files continuously coming into the diskpool will that be a problem for my copypool? I understand that perhaps I may miss some of those incoming files and that's a potential issue but it doesn't concern me so long as they're caught in my next backup stgpool command. I'm just thinking out loud what potential problems if any there are with doing a backup stgpool from a primary pool that is currently receiving files. Offhand I can't think of any other then hitting the disks a little harder and maybe not catching some of those incoming files.. also I suppose if your offsite pool has collocation enabled there might be some interesting mounting/dismounting happening.
