The DRM part of TSM creates nice scripts to make DR testing easy.

If you do not have DRM, you can place:
DISABLESCHEDS YES
into the dsmserv.opt file.

This option will disable all schedule execution for you without having to
"catch" them after starting the server.

PS:  we just finished our second successful offsite DR test.  I cannot say
enough about the TSM DRM package (when configured properly.)

We want to test a TSM disaster recovery server.

Administrative schedules can be made inactive..............but is there
a way of suspending scheduled backups of clients?
