I'm running TSM 5.1.7.0 server on ZOS. The clients are Novell, Windows and AIX (around 400 total).
Backups are to mainframe DASD. The primary onsite tape pool is an STK VTS. Backups are collocated by filespace, and we keep 3 versions of active files. Our copy storage pool is stored offsite, and filespaces are not collocated. Our disaster administrator asked if we could do away with the offsite copy storage pool. They would duplex the VTS's backend 9840 tapes and send those offsite, eliminating the need for TSM's copy--storage-pool processing. Has anyone done this before or have any thoughts on that?
