[ADSM-L] Taking Permanent Offsite Copy before deletion

Hi all

I have a few nodes which have been decommissioned as production systems
in my environment and therefore no longer exists.   I want to delete
them from within TSM as well as delete any filespaces associated with
them - so the data is no longer consuming space in the production tape
storage library etc.    

However I don't want to 'loose' these data - as we have a business
requirement that we require the ability to restore from these data for a
period of time. 

So, logic and mechanics aside in terms of retention of hardware for such
restores.....   the query I have is, what is the procedure for me to do
a kind of 'export' or 'copy' of these filespace data for these old nodes
to be taken offsite?  Would i need to create some kind of new mediapool
- eg call it archival - set a never expire on the data etc, and just
copy it??
