Thanks Harold,
                                   Your approach is more or less what we
are doing here, and you ratified what I believed to be the case.

Many Thanks,

It is my understanding the export only deals with data as it existed at
the initial start of the EXPORT process.  Newly arriving data from backup
is not exported.

The approach I used:
Export the node, making note of the date the process started.
Use SUSPEND EXPORT * in your daily maintenance scripts to temporarily
pause the export before the next backup schedule.
Then use RESTART EXPORT * in later scripting to pick up where that export
left off.
In time, perhaps a few days, the export will finish.
When the initial export is done use the EXPORT <node> FROMDATE= parameter
to collect the new backup activity.

That let the node manager and I coordinate the cut of the node to the new
TSM server on any date that was convenient without my manual oversight of
repeated exports every day.

Hi,
      I am currently export nodes to a new server which is working fine.
Some of these exports are taking a very long time due to collocation not
being switched on.
I cannot stop the backups in the mean time.  What I'm trying to find out
is:

Does the export just work with data retrieved at the start and therefore
any new Active data is not included when the export finishes?

Many Thanks,
