I had tried that prior and couldn’t get it working, I revisited it and now it 
is.
Thanks to java, Juan Valdez version.

But when the process is running it states

    PROCESS_NUM: 1093
        PROCESS: Database Backup
     START_TIME: 2012-08-23 07:17:08.000000

                  output volume(s): TSMNBG.DBV.345721035.

and the files get stored in the target server as .bfs


Is this normal, how could one recover from these if needed.

Hi Tim,

You should look at virtual volumes feature in order to backup the DB and the DR 
Plan file to a target server.

Note that there is no way to do multiple DB backups on a one tape.

Objet: [ADSM-L] database backup and dr plans

We currently have a 2 site TSM system, primary with secondary replicated.

The primary has disk storage pools first drop, primary storage second drop

as device type file and lto copy storage pools. We backup the database also

to a file device type. The replicated site just has primary storage as device

type file but without a copy storage pool.



Is there a way to backup the primary TSM DB  directly to the recovery server.



Is there a way to have the plan files sent to the other server , I attempted 
via mapped

drives but since the TSM service uses local system it could not write to the 
mapped location.

I know I can do it using  a batch file outside of TSM.



Can TSM stack multiple TSM backups on one LTO tape or is it one tape per backup.





Thanks,
