The virtual volumes are copied/stacked to physical volumes using TAPECOPY from OPENTECH which works just fine. Our only problem so far is restoring the data for HSM ML2 and backup tapes at our DR site since the restore must be to an equivalent volume type and except for another VTS there aren't any 3490's that hold 4GB of data. > The other problem with only 1 TS7720 is applying maintenance to the machine. When the CE needs to install software updates it often takes 3-4 hours and that means NO tape access for that period.
We have a similar problem with our grid: in that period there is no replication between the clusters, so we are not fully Disaster-Ready. However, this can be solved by a 3-way grid. Nothing is impossible if you have the money.
