Subject: [ADSM-L] Backing up a Node while export/importing

I have some very large nodes (20TB) to move between TSM servers (phasing
out AIX to move to Linux).

Obviously, the EXPORT NODE TO SERVER will run a long time since then
need ALL of the existing backups.  However, the backups can't be stopped
while this is occuring.

What is the implications of an export/import going on and also
performing backups to the new/target server at the same time ?

Any suggestions on a better way to do this ?

Also, to make it more complicated, this includes Notes Domino TDP
backups.
