Hi *,

 Relative newbie, pls be patient...

 I have successfully created a TSM PD/PS/MC/POOLS and backed up a 265GB
filesystem to TAPE. The TAPE pool definition is:
VDE: Nolimit
VDD: Nolimit
REV: Nolimit
ROV: Nolimit
Overflow Location: offsite

 My question(s):
 What is the best method to 1) check the tapes out, 2) ensure the data is
keep FOREVER, 3) is recoverable, at anytime, 4) whatever I am missing!!!

 AHIA, thx...
