We walk this way. Backup Storage Pools (Criticals) Backup TSM Db Backup Storage Pools (non-Criticals) Expiration Move drmedia Run Drm Prepare DR preparation and mksysb on TSM server to tape Take tapes to Data Vault. Reclamation 65 % M-f & 51% during weekend. Migrate diskpools to tape
Because when the Backup Storage pools backs up, it also backs up the diskpool. Save data on diskpools till end of day for quick restore turn-a-round, then I migrate to tape (I call it move data to tape). Plus migrating also creates delays and tape media waits, if run beginning of day. Not sure on the volhist.

Backup Storage Pools Backup TSM Db Backup Volhist Migrate diskpools to tape Move drmedia Run Drm Prepare I am asking because when we do our DR tests It always seems that I end up having to restore to a point in time 1 day earlier than I think I should. I am preparing to rework the daily schedule to try to avoid this and wanted to know how everyone else does it.
