Although we have the DR license, because our primary storage pool and copypools are in different locations we do not have to do any sort of checkout / vaulting. However, we do backup the DB twice daily 4AM after backups and 1PM after migrations and copypool creations. That tsm db backup is done to a flat file and ftped to the TSM DR server, along with the result of the PREPARE and these sets of TSM server config files:

Just make sure you send it somewhere that will be accessible during a disaster. That is why I send a copy to my home email account. Also, a copy is sent to systems administrators and other key personnel just in case I happen to be part of the disaster. Additionally, I have a backup TSM server at a remote location that gets a copy of my data via virtual volumes. I use NFS to copy the DRM plan along with the Volume_History, Device_Configuration and dsmserv.opt files to my backup TSM server.
