If you are using release 1 of ADSM you should look into using the
EXPORT (server, node, etc.) function to produce a copy of your data.
I do this every day for 25GB on one server and 13Gb on another, using
RS/6000s. Depending on how you have set up your server, it could be
time consuming, however, I feel very comfortable with the process and
I know I have an extra set of tapes(data) off-site. If you are testing
release 2 of ADSM, look into Copy Group (storage pool(s)).
Hope this helps,

I wish I had a year to test this all out ;-> I'm pushing to get this out
the door and it's making my learning curve real steep. I've bounced this
one around here and there's no clear answers, so I'm passing it on to
you "experts" on the net.
Our intent at this point is just to provide the backup feature.
Archival will come later, if at all, cause backup is enough to chew
on.
With collocation on, you get the user's data on fewer tapes, but with
only one copy on tape, what do you do if the operator drops it? It
upsets one user, but there went a lot of data into the bit bucket.
With collocation off, you get all the users' data on lots of tapes, but
with one copy on tape, what do you do if the operator drops it? It
upsets lots of users, who lot just a little data each.
Does anyone twin their tapes? How?
Do you "backup" your data via migration or MOVE DATA or EXPORT NODE, or
do you use something else?
