Yes, but your off-site tapes would not have all the data on them each day.
Some of the newly arriving data would not be going off-site.
Because of the way TSM works: backup all night to disk, daily process as
long as necessary during the day, the tape pick-up schedule should be
modified. Instead of having them show up at 9:00 have them arrive at 14:00.
Simple scheduling change.

Subject: when can make offsite copy?
Hello all,
I am reading through the doc on using a copypool for offsite DR tape
handling. I keep reading on how it is desirable to wait to all backups to
disk are complete, then make a copy to copypool, db backups, etc. My
problem/question is pressed by two issues. If I would wait for the 150-200
GB to all get to the disk, I will not have enough time to make the tape copy
befor the tape pickup people will be onsite. On the weekends I will not
have enough disk to hold all the backups (600 GB) of backups. So can I
start making backup copies to the COPYPOOL while I am still filling the
disk?
Thanks in advance...
Matt
