Gunnar,
Archive is the ADSM facility for long term storage.
You can bind your archived data to a management class that will allow you to
keep it for as long as your boss wants and you can use copy pools if you want to
guard against media failure of your archived data.

Subject: Long-term storage ?
Hello
Can You give me some ideas to how I can solve a situation ?
I'm among other things responsible for backing up some NT-servers
(ADSM-clients/nodes) into a ADSM-server (ver 3, something)
Mostly we use the NT-servers only as a platform for databases like
Ms-SQL, Sybase and DB2 (or UDB)
and let different applications communicate with them. (-
Ordering-systems, Journal-systems, Personal-administrative
systems and so on )
We dump the databases to files on disk and keep them for a (rather
short) period of time.
I find it (ADSM) very good to "secure operation" and preventing longer
production stops and so on.
Now I have what I think is a different "problem":
My boss want's me to find some "easy" solution to more of the "long-term
storage problem" as well.
You know, when for examples the auditors (is it called like that ?)
wants to "check the books" for example...
...when someone wants to check up some information from an order seven
months ago...
...or to check some invoice from the ordering system five years from
now.
I guess it's an easy task for some of You wizars and magicians out
there, but I'm still a novice to a lot of this ;-)
Can You please give me some hints, tips and points of views ?
Is making CD:s of exported data a possible solution ?
