How to keep one month worth of data offsite
How to keep one month worth of data offsite. The reson, lack of tape spaces and can not have so many version. The other reson, managment wants data to be kept in safe box for at least one month the we can recycle it... This is what I did Background: I have 10 filesystem to backup of 5 different systems. I have 2 libraries of 3750 attached separately, to the ADSM server. I'm using 1st one for daily live data of each system, I'm having only one copies of the files, the current version, and the retention of that is one year, or can be unlimit...so everyday it's getting refreshed, only one copy exists. I need to keep previous day's copy on the second library, I have two options as I thought of it, one is to do each day archive and keep it for max. One month and then start recycling, the other option, which I'm not sure, is whether I can use Copy Storage pool or not. I know the retention on Copy Pool is same as the primary pool... But if I do copy pool to some tapes and then move that tape offsite, on daily basis, can these files be retrieved any day within one year, or it stay only one day. Please help ...

Thanks Tab, I did exactly as you suggested, please verify it, and if possible clarify some of my doubts I created Sequential Access Storage Pools called RECLAIMDISKPOOL and said it's of Device Class RECLAIMCLASS. RECLAIMCLASS is File Device Class type FILE with Max. capacity of 2GB under /u13/adsmreclaim directory. The concern is, each time I start reclamation, it create a huge files, as followings. itb pwd /u13/adsmreclaim itb ls -alt | head total 7596048 -rw--- 1 root dba 1791992909 Oct 01 10:12 2263.BFS -rw--- 1 root dba 2097152000 Sep 30 10:25 2261.BFS Are these files are temporary files, when does it gets refreshed? Are they actually taking that much space? Do I need to do any cleanup?
