You can make a "backupset". See generate backupset.

You can only create an archive from a client so you could restore the data
somewhere then archive it.

Subject: Can I create a Node Archive from a full-increment (full backup) in
my backup diskpool? <<re-post <<

I did not receive an answer for this the first time I sent it 2 days ago
.

Has anyone had experience in this with making a node archive from the
first full-backup in a primary diskpool?

TSM 5.1.6.3 W2K server
TSM client 5.1.5.15

We have a remote NT4 server client that we have take a spare W2K TSM
server to physically to make the first backup, as we are not sure its WAN
connection bandwidth is sufficient for this first backup..

I have made its first Backup (which is a full backup) into a diskpool.

I have also configured the client  for compression and subfile backup.

My question is:

When we get this spare TSM server back to HQ, can I now make an archive of
the client from the backup in the diskpool?

If so, what steps are needed?

TIA.
