Restoring from a tape from one 3583 to another one..cross system testing

[jbritton]

We have 2 TSM Systems each with it's own 3583. One is repsonsible for backing up 3 regions and the other is responsible for 2 regions.



For a compliance disaster recovery test..we need to be able to test a cross system restore..The simpliest scenario I can think of would be to back up one test server..and then send the single tape to the other region..where they could restore it.



So far at IBM's Tivoli site and the archive here..my searches have come up empty on this topic.



Any suggestions and/or links to help accomplish this task..



Thanks

Easiest way would be to generate a backupset or export the node and send it to the other side.



Otherwise, you'd have to send a db backup along with the data and restore the db at the other site.
