There are a few different ways to do this. 1) If you have Site A and Site B then with the right high speed connection you could backup the servers from Site A directory to 1 TSM server at Site B. Of course this may not be feasible if you have more data to backup in a night then your window and the connection will allow.
2) If you truly want a copy at both sites then I would use a copy pool but by using virtual volumes. Your copy pool would use a server device class that is pointing to the other site's TSM server. Then when you run your storage pool backups they are put on the other TSM server. Note that when you do this, in a disaster you will need to DR the Site A (or first) server at Site B. This is because the server that stores the data only recognizes it as archived objects through virtual volumes and not as real node date. It is the DB from Server A that will distinguish this. Sure you could try something with exports and imports but you are right that doesn't make much sense. In reality the key to the Site A and Site B working is the connection you have between them.

Each one of them has a library attached. They are on two different locations (lets say A and B) I want to backup all my clients in server A, but I also want to keep a copy of those files on server B. This is intended for redundancy purposes, and it is also intended to avoid a courier carrying tapes among locations. Is it possible to do this? I've never worked with Virtual Volumes, and I dont know if they are the solution for this schema. I've also read about EXPORT and IMPORT data (also using Virtual Volumes), but I think by doing this could be a very heavy process on a daily basis, since Im going to export ALL data already backed up and not only the changes. I dont want to use Copy Storage Pools since I have to recreate first all the tapes that could be destroyed and then restore. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. ===== "Do or Do Not, there is no try" -Yoda.
