You could also use some of that 100 GB disk to automate your DB backups. Then copy the resulting file to DDS3 manually when you are ready to send offsite.

If one exists, then it probably answers the following question. What is the best way to handle the db and log backups with the following meager hardware. I ask this because using up two (or more) 100GB tapes for our <1GB db is not acceptable. Actually, using the tapes is not a big deal, but using the tape slots is. Available HW. 1 LTO drive, with a small autoloader (IBM 3581) One slot used for cleaning cart. 20gb of space available for disk pools (soon to be 100GB) Have to use this space for reclaim too. 1 DDS3 4mm drive. Manual. I need to get by till q2 of next year, when I can budget for a 3583 or similar and that rather large TSM library license fee. ********************************************************************** This e-mail, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential and for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
