I need some feedback from the list concerning how best to maintain more
than one copy of my backups.  In setting up ADSM out-of-the-box by
configuring a single stgpool that migrates to tape and ongoing incremental
backups, I'm presented with a problem.  How do I protect myself in the
event of a tape media failure?  I need to have all files duplicated at
least once on different media.  How do I maintain such an environment?
Having all of one filesystem on 1 tape does not give me a warm and fuzzy
feeling.  The way I see it, I have these options:

  o  Create a backup copy pool
  o  Force periodic full backups
  o  Make archives

Bear in mind that I have only 1 DLT4700 library at this time (more to some
soon).  Any and all suggestions appreciated.  Take care...
