If you're trying to have something for use in a recovery environment, I'd be inclined to us tar instead.
Think about it -- your TSM server is not available, how do you restore the TSM server files? (Yes, backup sets will work -- If you created them beforehand AND the system has compatible tape drives). We have gone a different route. I've installed the TSM server code on both our production S7As; it runs on one and just exists on the other (which runs SAP). In our D/R process, we bring TSM and SAP both up on the same system. The TSM code is recovered with MKSYSB when we restore the system, and then we copy in the current device config and volume history files.
