Hi there,
I am relatively new to TSM and have inherited a medium-sized, but fairly simple environment where we do incrementals to disk and/or file (depending on file size), then roll over to tape, then take offsite.
We have a client with a large storage area that is not currently being backed up at all (except there are disk snapshots available for a time) to TSM. They now would like an offsite archive of this data created for them on tape, and to be able to take the tape offsite to their location.
Is there a way I can perform an archive like this on a filesystem that is not currently defined in TSM, without having it go through the normal process of being defined, and then creating a backupset from that? I ask because I'd like to avoid inundating my disk and file pools with this data that is so large.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to go about this.
