I support a TSM 5.3 installation with a 3582 library, which is running out of local capacity. One of the tape pools is used exclusively for a large body of files which receive regular additions but are never changed or deleted. The tapes in the pool are all full, apart from the one that is being currently written-to. Is it safe to checkout some or all of the full tapes and store them offsite, since their content will never change or expire?
Thanks Angus
