We did something similar, about 3months prior to our annual DR Test we created 
a DR policy and associated dedicated Disk and Tape pools.  Any backup client 
that was to be included in offsite DR tests would be added to this policy.  We 
reduced our tape shipment to Sungard from 3000 to 200 Tapes (3590E Tapes)

Subject: Disaster recovery .... partial OFFSITE storage pools


Hi,
please forgive me if you are receiving this again.  The listserver informed me

Hi all,

We are going to SunGard in November and we are interested in rebuilding our TSM 
server and 3 nodes that are in our environment.  We do not want to take our 
entire OFFSITE tape pool with us to Sungard.  Is there a way that we can easily 
create a seperate storage pool for just the 3 nodes we are interested in 
recovering + at the same time leave our current OFFSITE storage pool in place? 

Any ideas of what other folks are doing in this scenario would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
James Choate
