Hi Craig

I use this on my 3 TSM Servers.
Each sends its DR Plan to the other server each day after the Offsite
Create.

All my Stanzas etc are created locally, and I simply send the plan using
the prepare statement to a devclass that is linked to a remote server.

As below.

Unfortunately you do need to use DRM. Worth the cost.

Hopefully this will be a easy one.
I have been investigating the possibility of automating the offsiting
our
Prepare Plan on our offsite LTO tapes.
I have read on IBM TSM info center you can copy your Prepare plan to
Disk
Tape or other servers.

*You should create multiple copies of the plan for safekeeping. For
example,
> keep copies in print, on diskettes, on network- mounted disk space
that is
> located offsite, or on a remote server.*

But I cannot workout which command/process which allows this. We are not
using DRM.

Thanks in advance.
