Should we start with "Livin' on a Prayer" or "Once Bitten, Twice Shy"?

"50 Ways to Weave Your Server"

"The problem is all in your db", she said to me The answer is easy if
you take it logically I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to weave your server

She said it's really not my habit to intrude Furthermore, I hope my
backups won't be lost or misconstrued But I'll repeat myself at the risk
of being sued There must be fifty ways to weave your server Fifty ways
to weave your server

You just run sysback, Jack
Email a new plan, Stan
You don't need a new toy, Roy
Just code it in C
Send the tapes on the bus, Gus
You don't need to offsite much
Just save the encrypt key, Lee
And send it FTP

Ooo run sysback, Jack
Email a new plan, Stan
You don't need a new toy, Roy
Just code it in C
Send the tapes on the bus, Gus
You don't need to offsite much
Just save the encrypt key, Lee
And send it FTP

She said it grieves me when your systems down the drain I wish your
database would replicate again I said I appreciate that and would you
please explain About the fifty ways

She said I see you're gonna get no sleep tonight And I believe in the
morning you'll really look a fright And then she left me and I realized
she probably was right There must be fifty ways to weave your server

I don't use the scripts.
For someone as experienced as you, I find them more trouble to modify
them than to do without them.  (E.G, the paths in the planfile won't be
right; the UPDATE VOL script is downright silly when you can do that
with 1 command now; will want to use RAW volumes at the recovery site
instead of JFS. etc.  

However, I do want the INFORMATION in the planfile to be available.  
So we just print it and send the print to the vault with the tapes.  

How about we start a list of 50 ways to retrieve your planfile?!?  

1) print it
2) mail it to a desktop that does have a floppy
3) mail it to yourself (and other key players) on your home email
address so you can download it at your hot site
4) FTP it to your hotsite server
5)

(everybody should be humming along with Paul Simon at this point...)
hmmmmmmmmm

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.

TIA
