Storing a TSM server's database backup inside another TSM server strikes me as a
very bad idea. Fundamental recovery such as that of a TSM server calls for
rudimentary, uncomplicated data preservation, using a technology which is not
the same as that to be recovered.
As for multiple TSM servers: Whereas we older customers remember the days when
each new server meant a whopping additional charge, my understanding of the
current licensing model is that it is wholly clients-based, such that there is
no further cost as a site decides to implement more server instances. Of
course, that could abruptly change with an executive transition at IBM so we
need to be cautious.
