My goal is to get my offsite backups out the door as soon as possible. Thus, if I were doing two data base backups as you list, one for onsite and one for offsite, I'd just do the offsite one, then get the DRMPlan created and tapes ejected before doing the DB backup for keeping onsite. I also generate my list of tapes to be brought onsite at the same time as I am ejecting my offsite tapes.
Since Expire Inventory logically removes files from storage pools, I run it before running my reclaims. My whole admin process is scripted with AIX shell scripts which each start the next process the current one finishes. -- David Ehresman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
