Dear Sir,

Thank you for your answers.
I have another question for you.
What should I do if I under estimate the volumn of the data,  the backup
process requires to mount a new tape  because the mounted tape is full, but
I am run out of the labeled & "check in" scratch tape at this moment. What
will TSM do in this situiation? Does I have to terminate the back up
process, prepare enough labeled tapes and check in all of them, and restart
the backup process from the beginning.
Or there is a chance that I can resume my back up process after I found
some available tapes?


Sincerely and Best Regards.

If it is a manual library (i.e. a bare tape drive) you still have to label
and "check in" tapes as scratch.  Then TSM will request you to unmount the
full tape and mount a particular scratch tape.  You can run "mountmode"
console which will display the messages.

Well, SWIT3! The volumes have to be already labelled & checked into the
library as SCRATCH volumes. Then, TSM will automatically mount a SCRATCH
volume and proceed with the data write. If not you will have numerous
insufficient space errors in the activity log.
