Although we have the DR license, because our primary storage pool and
copypools are in different locations we do not have to do any sort of
checkout / vaulting. However, we do backup the DB twice daily 4AM after
backups and 1PM after migrations and copypool creations. That tsm db
backup is done to a flat file and ftped to the TSM DR server, along with
the result of the PREPARE and these sets of TSM server config files:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     sys            1962 Jul 12 13:02
devconfig.info
-rw-r--r--   1 root     sys             944 Jul 12 13:03 dsm.opt

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.
