After the backup of our database, we backup the device config and volhist
files from TSM to the text files, then we perform a maksysb on our AIX
server.  That backup tape (4mm) goes offsite with the TSM tapes (LTO).

I have written a batch file that runs on our operators' Win2k Pro machine.
The batch file maps the network drive to the TSM server and copies the
required files to local diskette and another network drive.  I just use the
Windows scheduler to have this run every day at the same time.  This may
not be the best approach, but it only took 5 minutes and my operations
staff doesn't have to worry about anything.

Hello,

I was wondering how other administrators are saving the volhist, devconfig,
dsmserv.dsk and dsmserv.opt.

Every day we save the volhist and devconfig and manually ftp these files to
a network-drive in case of a crash of the server.

Now I'm not familiar with scripts so far, but I want to automate these job.

So, I was wondering how other administrators are doing this job.

Thanks for your reply.

Brian.
