Hello,
I have an old server I'm retiring, I've copied the data over to the new server but I would like to do a offsite archive of the old system before wiping it clean. I've created an archive storage pool and moved the TSM client over and began the archive process. After it's finished can I just check out the archive tapes, run a full database backup, check out that DB tape, them take everything home for safe keeping? I'm just wondering if this is the best process to do this.
As long as I have the full database on tape and the archive tapes I should be good if I have to retrieve years down the road for some reason.
Thanks!
