> With  NT it seems, that this is not so simple.

> Our environment is:
>
> TSM 4.2.1.7 Server on NT, in the moment without DRM
> EDT-DistibuTAPE 6.4.0 from Gresham Enterprice Software
> STK Library Station 4.0   (Software from STK)
> STK 9840 Fibre Channel Drives in a STK Powderhorn Silo on Mainframe OS/390
>
> The TSM-Server and the Drives are connected to SAN.
>
> Backup and restores in this environment runs fine.

> What  i'm looking for, is a solution how we can managed and control the
> transfer from COPYPOOL-Tapes and DB -BACKUP-Tapes
> from ONSITE to OFFSITE location and back to ONSITE after the tapes are
> empty.
>
> Further, how can we determine the tapes that must go OFFSITE (Copypool and
> TSM - Database Backup Tapes)
> and later if  the tapes are empty go back to STKs Powderhorn.
