We have a department leaving our TSM system that would like to have the tapes we've been using for them -- they'd keep them on a shelf and presumably use tsmtape (or whatever) if they needed the old

Could you generate a backupset for them on new tape, and then delete their data from storage pools when it's done? That way TSM doesn't have to track it at all. On 09/16/11 10:04 AM, Jim Davis wrote:

I would be reticent about giving people used tapes, unless the old overwritten data had been encrypted, or the tapes were used exclusively by the people you're given them to. On 09/16/11 12:38 PM, Ji

We had a request that sounds similar from our legal department. We collocated the data in a copy pool, then we took those copy tapes and a backup of the DB and stuck it in the vault. Because ours is
