Hi TSMers,

We are looking into replacing 1200 3590 J tapes with 600 3590 extended length
K tapes to make room in the 3494.  While the state is cutting 9% of the
University's budget, it is a tremendous waste to throw away 1200 perfectly
fine tapes.  Now my boss wants to know if there is a way we can use the
J tapes for the offsite storage pool only.  I looked throught the Admin
Reference and there doesn't seem to be a way to do:

   backup stgpool tapepool tapeback scratch=no volumenames=file:listof3590

Any suggestions?

server: TSM 4.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3
tape library: 3494
