Yearly Backupset - Offsite bank vault

[hballang]

Hi,

I have run a complete full backup for STG-YEARPOOL8 and we want to checkout these tapes and put them in a vault in the bank for 10 year archiving.

By running these two commands, I get the tapes that are assosicated with the Yearly backup set, 19 tapes in total for data and 2 for DB.

Data: q drmedia wherestate=mountable copystgpool=SDLT-YEARPOOL8 SOURCE=DBNONE
Database: 'q drmedia wherestate=mountable COPYSTGPOOL=NONE SOURCE=dbs'

I want to check these tapes out, but bit unsure which command to use. They are all displayed as mounta

If I use the command q drmedia wherest=mountable I only see 1 tape. This is for incremental backup and daily backup. If I use the q drmedia wherestate=mountable copystgpool=SDLT-YEARPOOL8 SOURCE=DBNONE
I get the tapes I need to get out of TSM and put them into a bank vault.

This is the command I daily use for incremental backup:

move drmedia * wherest=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk

Which command to I use to check these out, so TSM won't ask for these tapes?

Can I use move drmedia * wherest=mountable copystgpool=SDLT-YEARPOOL8 source=dbnone?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what exactly you are looking for......you cannot process backupset tapes with 'move drm'. It is only for copypool and db.

instead of running 'q drm' 2 times you can put them in single line....like

q drmedia wherestate=mountable copystgpool=SDLT-YEARPOOL8 source=dbs

Thats fine. I want to export my backup set which is named STG-YEARPOOL8 out of TSM and into an offsite location (bank vault) for 10 years of archiving.

Which command do I use to get the backupset only out?

use the command 'q backupset <backupset-name-here> begind=-10 endd=today f=d' to see the vols used by this backupset in last 10 days and you need to manually check them out.

As far as retention concern, you need to use RTENTION option when you generate backupset. go to dsmadmc tsm prompt and do 'h genarate backupset' for more information.

Retention period has already been set when I defined the schedule job for the SDLT-YEARPOOL8. This is storage pool type=copy

Do I still need to check these out manually? Thanks.

We already had predefined scripts for removing the yearly backup automatically. Closing the thread. Thanks for all help anyways.
