We still don't know what the actual requirement is and what parameters there
are here. Are you unnecessarily limiting yourself by specifying 'tape' here?
Does TSM need to have anything to do with this? Is it viable simply to get
these files (how many? what size in total?) and copy them to a safe Windows
PC with a DVD drive/writer and send them out on a DVD instead?

That´s right...but, how can I assure that this data will be readable
somewhere else, without TSM?

I'm assuming you don't want to keep a copy onsite.

"export node" or "generate backupset" will put files on the tape and keep
them out of the typical storage pool heirarchy

[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
