If you can figure a way to put Ignite tape to a file (Hmm, re-directed
output?), then figure out how to move that file to 4mm/8mm tape when/if you
need to recover the HP box, the daily backups could be swept during normal
incrementals -- We use a central NFS server for all the
mksysb/Ignite/jumpstart images, then when a server needs recovery, the most
recent version is still on disk -- just gotta solve the reverse of the
re-direct to get put the image back to a tape for the HP system boot.
Similar approach for Win2K...  run NTbackup for System State to a file,
backup the file (weekly mgmt class used, to avoid doing 250 MB for every
server every day).

I'd be happy if TSM provided a means of managing the media containing my HP
Ignite-UX images...  currently, that has to be done manually.
