Re Wanda's message:
Read the doc in the TSM server
admin guide on GENERATE BACKUPSET.  You can back up machine ONE to the TSM
server, then use GENERATE BACKUPSET to put the "active" data on a portable
tape or CD.  Then you can take that tape or CD and restore it on machine
TWO, without any connection to the network.  See the client documentation
on
RESTORE BACKUPSET.

The RESTORE BACKUPSET requires the TSM client software The original poster
stated this was not the case, therefore BACKUPSETS will not help. If they
really cannot install the TSM client, then TSM cannot be used. Alternative:
Use OS commands to copy the files to ZIP drive, diskette, CD etc and
sneakernet the files to remote system. TSM does not support restoring data
using OS commands. (OP also did not state if the source and destination
system are using same OS or compatible filesystems. This also is relevant
in determining a solution).
