Re: backup directly to tape

Hi Ann,
You specify the destination of your backups in
the
copygroup.
The default storage pools created when you
install
ADSM are all on dasd.
You have to create a new primary storage pool
called for example 'tapepool'. The device class
you use here will determine where your backups
go.
So to put it into steps:
1) Create a new devclass for your tape device.
2) Create a new storage pool that points to
this
device class.
3) Go into your copygroup that you are using
for your
backups and change the destination to point
to the
new pool you created (TAPEPOOL).
4) Run your backup and it will go directly to
tape...
Just shout if you need any clarification on any
of the
steps. (The IBM manuals are not always that user
friendly).
