How do other sites save their DRPLAN?
Here's the problem:
We automatically (cron) mail the DRPLAN from our AIX TSM server to various places--an offsite e-mail address, our Iron Mountain vault e-mail, etc. Unfortuneately, the file is embedded instead of attached. In a recent DR test, the embedded file did not work. It lost the formatting that allows it to be awk'd properly. Our mksysb restored a good copy of a recent DRPLAN file which I used to successfully recover TSM. This doesn't help in a real disaster because we only create a mksysb once a month. I need to have a good copy daily and I really don't want to manually copy it to a diskette everyday for offsite..
What do other sites do? In unix, is there any way to create a script that attaches the file to an e-mail instead of having it embedded?
