??Backup Strategy for raw volumes??

Hi,

I have a customer with a HP-UX TSM server running server code 4.1.3. They
have a client with both raw logical volumes and mounted filesystems which is
currently backing up fine using incrementals and backup images. What they
need to do is on a monthly basis take a snapshot of the entire box which
needs to be kept near line for 7 years. Because they have raw volumes they
cannot just use backupsets, because as far as I am aware backupsets will not
work with raw volumes.

What is the best strategy to implement to ensure they have a copy of all the
active files on the client, both mounted and raw data which they can keep
for 7 years?

Cheers
Scott Thompson
