The easiest way to achieve this would be to create a new SAP storage
pool and only have this particular node backup to it.  Then any tapes
that are in the library of this particular stgpool would need to be sent
offsite.

Subject: Removing client node from copypool


Hi All,
        We have SAP R/3 backup every night using TDP. It takes about 8
hrs to back it up. It takes about the same amount of time to make
copypool tapes to go offsite. A request has been made that we make a
change so that this client does not make copypool or offsite tapes.
However, the primary pool tapes have to be identified and sent offsite
instead of copypool tapes for this particular client. The idea is that
it would save time and free up some tape drives to do some other
backups.
        Is it at all possible to have this client not make copypool
tapes. Also, how can I identify and eject the primary pool tapes for
this client to go offsite.

Thanks,
Raminder Braich
