To explain further.
If a single node has backed up 700GB it looks to me like it is
impossible to force multiple processes to an offsite pool unless somehow
part of the data
One of the issues I have had with TSM is the inability for it to run
multiple processes from a single disk storage pool to a pool designated to
go offsite. With 5.3 out I was wondering if that has changed, haven't seen
anything yet to think not but maybe I missed it, or if we're still stuck
with
backup stgpool has had the maxprocess parm for some time now. Now
sure which release it came in at but it was certainly there at 5.2 and
is still there at 5.3.

Indeed so. The fly in the ointment is that you don't necessarily get
the number of processes you specify, for architectural reasons.

Hi,
We're running TSM server 5.1.6.2 on z/OS.

Hello!

I am running DRM and I am seeing large discrepancies in what I have

I run a q drm wherest=vault [or a select statement] and compare the list

Do you include the database tapes in reporting and bringing back?

Yes, I have seen this and there are a number of reasons
that can cause this.
1. Are you using DRM to expire the DB

One common cause for this is that you are running delete volhist on your db backups
rather than letting DRM handle it (or with a shorter retention than DRM does). TSM
then forgets about the DB backup tapes that are offsite.
