Hello Neil,

Yes that's no problem, we already have 1 taperobot for the 1-st backup
and 1 taperobot for the copy tapes (fiber).

Rolf.

Rolf,
   Have you verified that the link between the data centers can handle
the data traffic generated during client backups?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Setting up crossbackup datacenters with TSM

Hello,

I have to set up cross backup between 2 datacenters. What is the
best/easiest way to do this?

As far as I can see I have to setup schedules/policy domains/policy
sets/ management classes/backup and archive copy groups for both
datacenters to be able to backup nodes to different tape-robots (device
classes) as this is configured with "Copy destination" in the copy
groups.

Am I correct in this assumption? Anybody antoher idea?

Windows 2003/TSM server 5.3.

Rolf.
