It is possible but has its limitations. I even made TSM working with
single drive (manual lib) for both primary and copypool. In such cases
periodic selective (forced fulls) might be of some use.

Hi all,

        Can TSM use a small autoloader to do the onsite copies and a
manual tape drive to do the offsite copies.  The offsite copies couldn't
be reclamed, but they could be destroyed when they have very little data
left on them.  Next time an offsite copy is done, the deleted files would
be re-transfered to the offsite copy.

Since you still can't reclaim offsite tapes to a reclaimpool, this could
be done on a small install so that you don't need a two drive library to
use TSM to backup your data?

What do you guys think?
