Greetings ADSMlings,

Thanks for your help!

I will be implementing TSM Fastback servers at 2 remote sites. These 2
servers will be protected by a TSM Fastback DR Hub Server back at the HQ.
My issue is that the remote sites have T1 WAN capabilities while the  sites
have ~70GB and ~250GB of data respectively. My question is regarding what
the instructor referred to as a "Full Data Shipment" used to get the
initial snapshot from the remote locations to the DR Hub server where the
DR server would be installed at the remote site, the fist snapshot created
from the protected Fastback server and then trucked to the DR site.

In this case we will NOT be able to do this since the client will be
housing the DR Hub server on an existing server attached to an existing
active SAN. Can I use some sort of transportable (maybe USB) drive to
create the repository and then hand carry it to HQ and pull it into the DR
Hub server? If so, what would be the process to accomplish this?
