Mario Run a selective if you like, but there is no real need to. Then run a generate backupset on the node. This will put all of the active data on to a tape.
Print out the detail of the backupset (q backupset) and send it with the tape to the customer. Regards Steve.

There is an IBM 3583 L18 LTO2 connected to the TSM Server, with 3 drives and 18 slots. How can I tell TSM to use a particular tape, a scratch one that will be sent to the customer. Any help is appreciated. Mario ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
