Hi Sean.

   We are running ADSM 3.1.2.40 on OS/390 2.5 and have been using DRM for about
1.5 years. We move our tapes off-site daily. Run a full backup on Sunday Night
at 24:00 and an incremental Monday through Saturday. The number of tapes that
are moved is influenced by the amount of data that you backup, device type and
if collocation is in use or not. In our scenario our copy pool is collocated and
we are moving about 92GB a day and the incremental backup as well in 6 tapes.
Our media is STK 9840's. We haven't done DR test as yet but will be 3Q of 2000.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!


Brian

Hello All,

        We are in the process of implementing DRM and I was curious as to how
other shops handle their offsite volumes.  Do you move DRM volume offsite
daily/weekly/monthly?  What is the average number of tapes being moved offsite
at any given time?  Any other information would be helpful as well.

Thanks
