Hi,

Am a complete newbie when it  comes to TSM and have just been handed a
W2K3 system to look after with TSM 5.3. The system hasn't gone live yet
and I'm trying to work out how many tapes I'm going to need for
offsiting. We have four pools for onsite with the following setup


Vers Data  exits                28
Retain extra(days)      31
Vers Deleted            2
Retain Vers (days)      60

Do the copypools have the same characteristics?  If I'm sending four
tapes off a day how may tapes do I need for an offsite cycle ?? It's
just that the company that set things up have said that 30 LTO-3s should
be enough for onsite and offsite and I can't see how.

TIA

Gary (confused!)
