Tom,

I email the DRM plans to my office and home email accounts. Just make
sure you send it somewhere that will be accessible during a disaster.
That is why I send a copy to my home email account. Also, a copy is
sent to systems administrators and other key personnel just in case I
happen to be part of the disaster.

Additionally, I have a backup TSM server at a remote location that
gets a copy of my data via virtual volumes. I use NFS to copy the DRM
plan along with the Volume_History, Device_Configuration and
dsmserv.opt files to my backup TSM server.

We've never used the DRM module in TSM -- it was far too expensive when
we first started, so we rolled our own procedures (which work quite
well, I might add :-) but I'd like to look at DRM now that it's part of
the suite.

So -- for those of you using DRM -- how do you get the plan file and
associated scripts off-site? I'm running on AIX; the system has the TSM
tape library and a DVD-RAM drive. The hotsite system is in the same boat
-- so floppy is out. And a mksysb to the DVD drive takes about 4 hours
to write, so that won't be a daily occurance.
