Depends! If the DR tape is still in the library and still marked "readwrite", TSM will append the new data to it. If the DR tape has been marked access=OFFSITE, TSM will mount a new scratch tape to write the new data.

Suppose I've a storage pool called tapepool and a copy storage pool called disaster-recovery, both sequencial storage pools. After some data migrated to the tapepool storage pool a BACKUP STGPOOL is executed to copy this data to disaster-recovery. Some time later, new data are migrated to the tapepool again and I would like to know what will happen when the second BACKUP STGPOOL will be executed. Will TSM ask the last disaster-recovery tape volume and extend it? Or will TSM ask another tape scracth volume to disaster-recovery and fill it with only the new files that were last migrated to tapepool? Thanks in advance! -------------------------------------------- Reimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.quicksoft.com.br Fone: (47) 231-6500 - Fax: (47) 231-6515
