Re: BackupSet on CD?
You have to define FILE class and set maxcap less than CD size. The data will be split in several TSM volumes (files) and each volume will go on separate CD. Have in mind that volume label of the CD must match the filename (TSM volume label). Look at TSM Administrator's Reference (v5.1 for AIX, GC32-0769-00, p.174): The label on the media must meet the following restrictions: - No more than 11 characters - Same name for file name and volume label This might not be problem for local backupset restores but is mandatory for server backupsets over devclass with type REMOVABLEFILE. DirectCD creates random CD volume label beginning with creation date. This label will not match TSM volume label.

Re: BackupSet on CD?
Jack, On my Windows test box I have Easy CD Creator 5 with a built in program called Direct CD. This program makes the CDR act like a floppy drive. In TSM, define the drive as a removable storage. This is one way of putting the backupset on a CD. I have not tried putting a backupset on a CD but I suspect that it would work if you use Easy CD Creator 5. I have put a database backup to a CD this way.
