TSM uses a copypool to do this.

You can then eject the copypool tapes, mark them as not available,
and keep them offsite.

You will run reclaimation of both the onsite tapepool and offsite copypool
separately,
so do not expect there to be a 1 to 1 correlation of offsite to onsite
tapes.

Best of luck ... Jack

Hi,

We start moving our backup system solution to TSM and in our actual backup
system we daily move backup tapes used last night to an offsite building
and I would like to know how can we address this process with TSM.

Thanks in advance!
