Re: Reuse Copypool tapes in a 2nd offsite DR library
It is a good question but was answered less than 10 days before you asked it again. Look at list archives and follow the thread Moving Copypool to a new tape library started June 25-th. Deon George already provided a very good answer.

Re: Reuse Copypool tapes in a 2nd offsite DR library
Simon, Why not create a new primary pool, and back it up to the new copypool? You can migrate the data from the old primary pool to the new one as time goes on, and it will get backed up to the new pool, or you can wait until most of it expires and handle it then. The down side is that until you move all of the data from the old primary pool to the new one (and hence have a copy of it in the new copypool), you'll need to have both copypools for any disaster recovery exercises.

Reuse the tapes.
I have been working with TSM to make backups of my servers. The TSM server is on Windows NT and It is working with tapes too. The TSM makes backups and keep it in hard disk, after sends the data to tapes. But I want to reuse the tapes again. What can I do?
Re: Reuse the tapes.
generally, normal data expiration allows for the tapes to ~roll~ scratch again. files will expire based on associated management class copy group settings. (and having expire inventory run, expireinterval of 0 says don't automatically run expiration and you need an admin schedule to run expire inventory or you just need to manually run it.) OK, if all that is hap'n a full tape with a low % utilized might need to have reclamation run against it. it is best if you have at least two tape drives for reclamation but it is possible with just one. (see the user's guide for misc info on running reclamation) hope this helps later, Dwight -Original Message- From: Nazir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reuse the tapes.
