I am testing the backup vm function available in the
tsm 6 client. The full backup option uses a staging
directory on the server. The backup is placed there
and then the regular tsm backup sends it to the
storage pools.

Can the backup vm processs send it to the storage
pools directly without sending it to the staging folder.
The data is sent twice. Wouldnt it be better to
send it once.
