I have 6 key servers that I create backupsets for (Tuesday and Thursday). Depending on
your media (mine is DLT 40/80) and your DR site hardware (availability of drives to
use), I would suggest the more servers you can put on a backupset the better. These
sets are great to have running while

At last, something I do not entirely agree with from Paul.
I would not use backupsets for everything, but they are excellent for speading

All you need to recover from a disaster is:

Don't know what your server/client mix is; but a possible solution is to

Direct answer - it's you. Details below:
1. use double quotes in AS statement - Unavailable instead of

Brian,
When this happens to us even with a Space Trigger in place
it is necessary to:
1. define a new log volume with dsmfmt
2. extend the log using dsmserv

Once it is running you can remove and delete the log vol you
added.

For starters most people will define spacetriggers to automatically expand
their DB and recovery log before it reaches 100% (do a help define
spacetrigger on dsmadmc cmdline). What this does is let you set a threshold
