I've always emailed the prepare file to myself.  The things that change
daily are the DB Backup/Snapshot volume, and the macro's to mark the
storage pool volumes unavailable/offline/readonly.  From the email I can
get the DB Backup volume, and for the storage pool volume access changes, I
run an Update Volume command against all volumes in the storagepool, so I
don't need the exact list.  When I change something that would effect the
TSM DASD volume structure (DB, Log or StgPool), I get a new mksysb/sysback
tape cut and send it off.

Once you have the DB Backup restored, all the other information you need is
there.
