Re: How does Archiving and Backupsets work???
Thanks for the help, I understand that the goal of primary and secondary pools is to make sure no data is lost due to an aging tape or an accident, but the archive tapes are sent to a different location than the normal backups, so I have to keep them separate. Is there any other way of doing this? And how do you identify backupset volumes? Thanks again, Etienne Brodeur You cannot mark primary stgpool volume as offsite. As per the help/Reference Guide: 3. This value is valid only for volumes in copy storage pools. You cannot overcome the TSM design. Still can use MOVe MEDia OVFLOcation='Your off-site vault'. However think twice is this what you want good enough! You are talking about archives, i.e. long-term storage. And what if tape ages and gets unreadable or courier drop it and is broken?! That is the idea behind primary and copy pools. And you can check out primary pools from the library if are short on slots. Backupsets are again providing you same non-duplicate (not secured) scenario. Their main goal is quick restore not long-term archiving.

Is there a way to archive files spaces to tape and sent them out without keeping a copy on a primary storage pool? In other words I would like my archives to be sent directly to a tape that will be going to the vault. Is this possible? Must I use a backupset to do this? I have created a backupset to try it out and I can't tell which tapes is used with which backupset... How or where can you track your backupset volumes?

To keep the archive separate, put them in a different primary/copy storage pool.
Re: How does Archiving and Backupsets work???
Thanks! That was pretty obvious when you think about it, but for some reason I didn't! Thanks again.
