If there's a disk pool in the chain, migrate it to tape.

Update all tapes in the storage pool with a "filling" status to an access of 
readonly.

Run the exchange backup.

Check the resulting tape out of the library.

You now have a tape with nothing on it but the Exchnage backup; it may be used 
as a paperweight, a hockey puck, or a clay pigeon. It won't be of any use as a 
backup tape without the matching TSM database, a TSM server on the same 
platform as your existing TSM server, and the TSM client software.

(Don't forget to go reset the other tapes to "readwrite").

Guys,

I just want to write this backup on an scratch tape....how can I tell TSM do do 
this instead of using any tape at the pool and mix this data with data from 
other clients?

Thanks

Mario

You cannot use a backup set.
They are not supported with "TSM API" data.
