Thad depends if you are talknig about AIX standard system backup or TSM
incermental backup

I assume you are talknig about AIX

you do it this way

smtty mksysb

this is a bootable system backup.

then you define this in TSM with this command "Define Recoverymedia"

if you dont want a bootable bakup you can use


savevg rootvg

example

savevg -if /dev/rmt0 rootvg

ps. remember that you can?t use TSM system  backup on the same device
