Has anyone tried doing a TSM DB backup to file to a NFS mounted filesystem
(with the NFS host machine being at another site with a big fat pipe in
between?).
It's something we will probably do with our CWDM/Gigabit cross campus
solution, but I'm curious to know if anyone else is doing this as a
supplement to DB backups to tape (DR for TSM, Fast DB Restore, yadda yadda
yadda).

If TSM was doing a full backup twice a day. I would suspect,
the reason on why two backups are done is to keep the recovery
log from over committing. That is if TSM is in rollforward mode.
Since both the backups are scheduled in the morning, I don't think
that was the reason. If recovery log was the issue, they probably
would have spaced the backups more evenly. I think somebody just
thought it was a good idea to have an onsite copy and an offsite copy.
Must be nice to have a remote disaster recovery site that is
less than a 5-minute walk. ;)
That's not the recovery site; it's just where the DR tapes are
stored. But it's still "nice"; if we have a disaster, we just have
to walk over there and find the tapes to ship them to the hotsite.
