TSM'ers:

Our Management is finally getting where we should have been years ago with
Disaster Recovery. I need to start getting my TSM tapes off-site and need
you advice.

Environment:
Two H70s (one test, one production), AIX 4.3.3, 3GB memory each, shared 300
GB SSA disk drawers.
One 3570 Magstar dual-drive, 20-slot library.
Library size=~55 C-format tapes.
TSM Server/Clients 3.7.3.
10GB Primary Disk storage pool.
DRM installed but never setup/used.
We backup Oracle financial dbs only-no network clients.
Backup size ~60GB (AIX & Oracle dbs) each night.

Questions:

1) How would you proceed if we need to get the TSM tapes off-site as
quickly as practicable?
Maybe start off with backup sets initially until something more thought-out
is established?

2) Use DRM? How about Copy-pools?

3) Should I use DRM? (I know I should but I don't know the first thing
about it).

4) What other options are available?

Any help is appreciated.
