Mario, You have several options 1. generate backupset ..... Scratch=no vol=xxxxx - This allows a client to restore directly from the media or from another TSM server - self contained allows data mobility to another TSM server or directly to a client - tape and data not tracked in TSM - only contains active data
2. export node .... Scratch=no vol=xxxxx - This will create a copy of all of the client data that can be imported to another TSM server - self contained - allows data mobility to another TSM server - tape and data not tracked in TSM - all data (active and inactive) may be included 3. Create a primary storage pool to dump only this client's data in it. Then define a copy pool (maxscr=0) and assign a specific volume to that copy pool. Backup the primary pool to the copy pool backup the primary pool and use movedrmedia to eject the copy pool tape. - allows you to manage the data normally using TSM Your choice depends on what you are attempting to accomplish.
