Instead of playing with the utl file, why not modify the TSM storage pools?
Send the backup to a primary pool with no volumes assigned to it, then
modify the nextpool parameter as needed. All week it points to your normal
onsite tape pool, but for the weekly backup you want offsite, it points to
another pool. This other pool is backed up to your offsite pool. Two
admin schedules is all it takes for the swapping, and another one for the
backup storagepool.
Pools:
Storage Device Estimated Pct Pct High Low Next Stora-
Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Migr Mig Mig ge Pool
(MB) Pct Pct
----------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ---- --- -----------
SAPDBTAPE IBM3590 154,439.8 19.9 20.0 100 70
SAPDBTAPE IBM3590 154,439.8 19.9 20.0 100 70
SAPDBDISK DISK 0.0 0.0 0.0 90 70 SAPDBTAPE
SAPDBTAPE2 IBM3590 65,400.0 4.7 4.7 50 5
OFFSAPDBTAPE IBM3590 21,578,596 32.4
(The numbers above are way off - just copied from a server I have to get
the format correct)
Schedules:
(Assume SAP database backup starts at 02:00 on Saturday, runs for 4 hours)
01:58 Saturdays "upd stg sapdbdisk nextpool=sapdbtape2"
06:30 Saturdays "upd stg sapdbdisk nexpool=sapdbtape"
06:30 Saturdays "backup stg sapdbtape2 offsapdbtape"
I would modify the "normal" condition as close to the backup starting as
possible - if TSM is offline at 1:58, it's unlikely to be back up by 02:00.
And, of course, give enough time after the backup for the backup to run
long.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, but you'll go through a lot of
cats to figure them all out.
