Hi Remco!
I totally agree!
In our shop we had to create a dedicated server to enable backups in
case of a disaster. It contains a standby primary pool with 500 tapes,
just sitting there, costing money. This pool is located on the remote
location and is readonly. When the primary pool is lost, we have to make
this pool readwrite so backups can continue.
In this case you can see that the primary focus of development is still
on restore, while backing up became equally vital. Oracle database rely
on a frequent backup of the archive logs. When they become full, Oracle
simply stops.
I voted for your RFE and request others to do the same. It takes just
one minute of your time.
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon

Subject: RFE 17805
Hi all,
I submitted a RFE for TSM regarding the behavior of copy pools.
You can find the RFE via
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRFEs and
search for RFE ID 17805.
I'd like to invite all off you to vote on this RFE if you find it
useful, so that development can get a good idea of how important this
FRE would be to the customers.
Below you find the input I submitted:
Description: For one storage pool to be an exact replica of another
pool and be equivalent in every way, to the extend that if one pool
becomes unavailable all activity continues on the remaining pool,
including write activity.
This would also involve changing the behavior of commands like delete
volume, migration, etc.
Use case: In a dual-site setup with two tape libraries, one would
want operations to continue as seamless as possible in case of a site
disaster. Current copy storage pools can't be promoted to primary pools,
so with the current technology one has to create new storage pools on
the second site, even though a copy storage pool is already available.
Business justification: there are many dual site setup with IBM and its
customers. All data in a TSM server environment (disk) can be mirrored,
but as soon as the primary tape storage pools become unavailable, there
is a lot of manual intervention involved before normal operations can
continue.
