What kind of data is it?

If mostly static files, we like to use rdist (robocopy on windows).  Run it
every so often, then a final run at cutover. You can multiple parallel cmds
if need be.

If a database you can use a backup/restore with rollinig logs (at least for
oracle).  We have moved Multi TB Oracle databases this way with only a few
min of downtime at cutover.

In general, a TSm backup/restore is about the last thing we look at to
migrate servers.  It's usually too big of an outage.

Currently I am migrating servers for a customer. In all instances but one I
am using a combination of mksysb and sysback on uservgs to do this.

One node has .9TB of data, however and would take too long using sysback.

Someone has suggested using TSM. Can the client node be exported to tape
and
imported on a TSM server at the target site?
