What's the purpose of this? To have a portable copy of the data that someone
else can read? If so, are you going to be sending a copy of the TSM database
with it? Without this, accessing the data on the tape without any metadata
(i.e. that contained in the TSM DB associated with it) could be pretty
tricky...

You could always create a new (temporary) TSM node, backup only those files
you wanted using this, and then create a TSM backupset onto its own
dedicated tape - this *would* be portable without needed in TSM DB (only a
TSM client. Oh, and a tape drive!).

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backup files to empty tape

Hi list,

I have to backup some files from a TSM node to an empty tape and send this
tape away (check out from the library). What is the best approach to perform
this task?

Thanks

Mario
