Hi LIndy,

The question as asked is rather vague, making it difficult to provide a
more specific answer. As someone else suggested, perhaps GENERATE
BACKUPSET would be the way to go. Otherwise when posing questions like
this, it would help if you would provide more details about the
requirement: what specifically is being asked, and why. The "why" part is
important since at times there may be a disconnect between the mechanical
description and what is actually needed.

Re: Copy a backup






Hi Andrew,

We do have copies of our primary pools, i.e Offsite copies. What we are
trying to do is merely satify an audit requirement.

The retention periods are different.

Thanks.

Any Ideas ????

You should, as a matter of course, be using BACKUP STGPOOL on a daily
basis to make backup copies of your primary storage pools. This will give
you not merely weekly backup copies, but daily backup copies of *all* data
stored in TSM, affording you protection against TSM storage media failure.

Copy a backup






Good Day TSMers,

Please HELP......we do db2 backups to TSM on a daily basis. What I would
like to do to satify our auditors is make a copy of the backup taken on
Friday nights to a storage pool that I've called weekly.

I do not want to move the data, but make a copy of that backup set taken
as
at the friday night.

How can I go about doing this....Any Ideas ??????


Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
