You don't have to create a new storage pool for this process.
All you have to do is define a device class of type=file and maxsize of
640MB.  (If it needs to fit on a cd-rom)

Then run the generate backupset command using the new devclass.
I would name it file640 to make it easy to remember.

It sounds like it would be a two step process: 1) output the Backup Set to
a
file then 2) burn the file to a CD.

It may require defining a storage pool (DEF STG pool_name DISK ...), then
creating one volume in that pool (DEF VOL pool_name volume_name ...), and
creating the backup set to that volume (DEF BACKUPSET node_name
bckup_set_name DEV=device_class_name VOL=volume_name).  You may also need
to
define a new device class (DEF DEV device_class_name DEVT=FILE MAXCAP=???M
DIR=directory_name).

Subject: Creating a Client Backup Set???


Hi all-

I have been asked to create a client backup set for the purpose  of
restoring a client in the event that the TSM Server is not available via
the network.
I am supposed to burn the backup set to cd.  This way I can walk up to the
client, put in the cd, and restore locally from the cd.

Here is my question:  Where is the default output of the backup set?  Where
does it go -- to tape?  Is there a way to create the backup set onto the
hard disk rather than tape?
How does the Device Class fit into this?
I am trying to figure out how I am supposed to transfer the backup set to
cd-rom.  One more issue: the cd Burner is NOT local to the tsm server, it
is accross the network.

Tsm server is 3.7.4 on AIX RS/6000.
