If I understood your question right - you have enough disk space on the
server to hold *ALL* backups and want this copied to tape and single tape
cartridge can hold all backups too.
If this is the case you can define COPY Storage pool on the tape library
(be it manual library, i.e. standalone drive or an autochanger) and every
day perform storage pool backup of disk pool to the tape pool. Do not
forget to do 'EXPIRE INVENTORY' often. Both tasks can be defined as
administrative schedules and run daily.

Subject:        TSM can do it!

Hi,


I want to work with TSM like this way:

1-Make backup of client. It4s easy!
2-Keep the backups into the disk and after send the data to tape(one tape
is
enough)and the TSM managements this tape
(record and erase data when it is possible).

Can I do it?
How can I configure "pool" of tapes?


Thank you.
