Hi Gurus !

I have a question concerning security : we currently have one TSM server
(H80 AIX server) connected to a 3584 library. As our library reaches
it's capacity limit, we plan to buy a new one, and possibly another
server, to build a double server and  library solution. I'm looking for
an improved disaster-resistant solution, that could give us the
opportunity rebuilding the whole system,  case one server and it's
library would be destroyed.
The actual situation : we do nightly backups, followed by a complete
stgpool backup and dbbackup that are stored offsite. We also own DRM.
What we plan to do : split our backups data over two libraries, to
benefit of the increased tape drives quantity and tape capacity, and to
split DB data over two systems (therefore accelerating expiration
process etc ...). The two server-libraries couples will be installed in
two different locations, to minimize risks in case of fire, earthquake
...
How would you build such a solution, that would give you the opportunity
rebuilding the whole system in case of total destruction of one of those
sites ? Would you use virtual volumes for crossing Dbbackups and STGpool
backups ? Any suggestion will be welcomed ;-).
Thanks in advance !

Arnaud
