-do a q copy type=archive f=d you'll get a series like below
- look for an active
- look at the copy destination to see the storage pool used
- do a q stg to see if it has any data
- assuming the stg pool is separate from one used for backups, if it has data it has
archives
- do a q content xxxxxx on a volume in that storage pool to see what on it and type (
backup or archive)
It sounds like you need to go thru the getting started with TSM guide

Hi:
at the command line do a q copy type=archive or q copy type=archive f=d
to see your site definitions on archived files. Each archive is a unique
instance of what is archived and the number of days it is retained is
determined by the retain version values. Once you archive the file, you can
delete or modify the original file and the archived file still 'lives' for
its retain version value.

Hi:
Since you can checkout any volume there is no reason you can't keep archives
offsite.
The life of the archives are have nothing to do with updates to the original
files.

-How can i set up archivals and store the tapes offsite instead of within
the Library?
If files are never updated, are they still active forever regardless of
policies..
Let me know
Thanks
