How about beaming the tapes from one site to the other.

Subject: Taking dbbackups on remote TSM servers


Hi all

I have two TSM servers connected to LTO 3583 located 300 KMs apart and the
dbabckup for the same happens locally. I then send the dbbackups to
offsite( Site-A to Site-B and viceversa) on a daily basis.

Is it possible to take the dbbackup of server-A to the site-B drive and
server-B to the site-A LTO drive?  This will relieve me of the manual
activity of sending the dbbackup tapes taken locally to offsite daily. Also
being a scheduled activity there is no chance for failures.

Any help is highly appreciated.
