Re: Another D/R question
Tom, I email the DRM plans to my office and home email accounts. 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.

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.
