Christian,
there is no problem to run two TSM servers on one machine. You can have on
both machines installed two TSM servers (one active and
second inactive but ready to use in case of fail).
Then, when one of them fail, you can restore its database (from latest
backup) on second machine and run  both servers simultaneously.
Or you can backup TSM database on each other via server-to-server
configuration.
Another question is if you need to automate this proces. Probably the best
solution would be to use cluster (if it is possible, as I do not know your
platform, servers location and so on).

Hope this helps

Hi at all ...
I have a technical question and I try to explain in good form.
If I have a 2 servers with TSM, for example TSM1 and TSM2. The server TSM1
make a backups a one group of server "GROUP1" and TSM2 make a backups a
other group "GROUP2".  My cuestion is: In case of fail the TSM1 is posible
perform a backup a GROUP1 with the other server of tsm "TSM2" with the
same
tsm database of TSM1. Is possible to have a two databases in one tsm
server
and active or inactive each one in different times ?

If not possible the are any altenative or make this in other way.

Thank you very much for theirs help !!!
Best Regards
