Remember that everything else you have in TSM is dependent on the database
and, in a disaster that takes out the TSM server, the backups of that
database. Whatever medium you choose, it should be the best-protected of
anything generated by TSM.

If you're low on library capacity, remember that you can safely checkout the
database backups, as long as you keep track of where you place them if you
need them.

While writing to a remote site is an option, I would have a local copy as
well, in case a disaster takes out your link to the remote site.
