That should be fine. You will be rebuilding your server offsite, defining the library there, and checking in whichever tapes you want. That library can be anything you want that supports your drives, or no library at all.
A lot of people don't even use a library at their DR site; they just have drives. if you have tape drives but no library, you just define your library as "manual" and respond to mount requests yourself. -----Original Message----- From: Coviello, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: disaster recovery ? I have been asked the following, if we lost our TSM server and tape library, ATL P2000, with currently 100 slots and 4 drives upgrading soon to 198 or so slots. Would a P1000 work with 2 drives and I believe 100 slots. We are currently managing approximately 140 tapes now. The question is do I have to load all the tapes that are offsite into the library at once to restore it? or can I fill it and answer requests as they come? thanks Paul
