Is there really recomended sequence every TSM Environment should follow?
Or does it depend on your Individual environmental needs?

Objet : [ADSM-L] Migration question

I have a question that I feel a little stupid in asking.

What is the difference between migration and backup primary
(disk) to copy (tape)?

I am working on changing my scheduling up and the recommended
order of steps I was given is:

Backup clients
Migration
Backup primary to copy
Backup db
Expiration
Reclamation
Start all over again

Thanks!
