An interesting read Rejean.  Do you know of many people using this
facility yet?

I can't say I've played about with 6.X too much yet, so don't know a
typical DB restore time using a normal TSM DB backup.  Is it much longer
than 5.5? The last 5.5 one I did for a 120GB DB took 40 mins (DB backups
were going to disk)

Unless it take much longer, it does seem on the face of, it's a lot more
complexity (and required DB2 knowledge) than is required in anything more
than an environment that has a VERY tight RTO & RPO.

Thoughts?

Steven

Hello,
you might want to read the "Electronic vaulting using deduplicated remote
copy storage pools"
article that was recently posted on the Tivoli Storage Manager wiki site.
It has a lot of details
for implementing such a solution. You can find the article here :
