Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

This isn't exactly a solution but I have the very same problem as yourself
in finding the best way of doing this, and as you have pointed out, there is
no easy way that we have found. It is lookin very much like we will have to
make our TSM service unavailable for a "long-weekend" to be able to carry
out the snapshots.
How have you got on with your snapshot Mark? Have you found any gotchas
worth sharing? Has anyone else had to overcome this issue and found a less
disruptive way of doing it?
Many thanks

Subject: Taking an end-of-year snapshot
All,
We are running TSM 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1
What I want to do is to take an snapshot of our TSM data as it was at end
of year 1/1/04 and archive it away for 10 years. Is this possible? I
haven't found a way of doing it.
We need to make an end-of-year archive each year for legal etc purposes.
Running an archive of everything on one day doesn't seem practical - too
much data coming into the server. But snapshotting the existing backup
data would be ideal.
I was thinking that I could generate a backup set and backdate the
snapshot the backup set would take but there doesn't seem to be an option
to do this.
Does anyone know how this can be done?
Thanks
Mark
