Backupsets vs. copy storage pools
I am in the process of defining an offsite tape library to my TSM 4.1 for OS/390 server. I have a simple question as to whether I should use BACKUPSETs or copy storage pools for my creating my offsite data. I do not have the DRM module but the data at the remote site will be for DR purposes. Any all help will be greatly appreciated.

Copy Storage Pools. Backupset won't provide a complete copy of all the data in primary storage pools. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Re: Backupsets vs. copy storage pools
I use COPY POOL. I to am a OS390 guy. I setup a different device class so there is a different high level qualifier for the offsite COPY POOL. This works real well with the tape management software, CA-1. By the way, We executed our DR plan once already with TSM included. It was no problem without DRM. I think DRM may have a lot more value when you don't have a good tape management software package. I really don't know for sure because I never have had it. BUt that is what I have been told...
