Right I get it.

I assume you are wanting to do this so you can offsite your data
electronically rather than manually?

I know this is going a bit OT, but what are your options as far as moving
TSM2 offsite to where the library is?  does it have many/any clients that
need it where it is?

Also, what experience do you have with TSM server to serve stuff i.e. using
a remote library manager AND what experience with 3494 libs?

Thanks

Steven
