I support a TSM 5.3 installation with a 3582 library, which is running out of 
local capacity. One of the tape pools is used exclusively for a large body of 
files which receive regular additions but are never changed or deleted. The 
tapes in the pool are all full, apart from the one that is being currently 
written-to. Is it safe to checkout some or all of the full tapes and store them 
offsite, since their content will never change or expire?

Thanks
Angus
