Re: [ADSM-L] SV: Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?

But, as Wander points out, with any EXPORT NODE operation you'll need as a
minimum a TSM Server, a TSM Client and an IMPORT NODE operation to read any
of that node's data back again. For me, that doesn't qualify as 'have it be
readable outside of TSM' as stated in Eric's original requirement. 

However, I can't think of another mechanism that meets the active plus
inactive out of TSM requirement here. Looks like there might have to be a
compromise somewhere: either active only with a backupset, or all versions
but with some preparation/TSM software in the event of a recovery being
required.

Any other ideas anyone?

Hi Eric,
That is correct. With Backupset can you only collect data from a point in
time and the active data from that time.
Export/import can you collect ALL data.

I looked at backupsets, however it looks like you can only create a
backupset of "active" data?
The customer would like to have access to all data (active and inactive
versions) outside of the TSM server.

Is this possible via a backupset?

Thanks again.

An EXPORT  is only suitable for importing to another TSM server.

Look at BACKUPSETs; a backupset, if written to CD/DVD, can be read by the
TSM client, without a TSM server.
