1. We store all of our full archive tapes outside the library. We run a
daily script that does:
- q media * stgpool=stgpoolname wherestate=mountablein
wherestatus=full
- creates checkout commands and runs
- produces a report for our operators to remove these tapes
3. Since you are keeping it forever, you should ensure these tapes are
regularly recycled. We run a script that checks all tapes that have not
been written to in over 1 year and move the data from them.

Subject: best method to deal w/long term storage of tapes
Hi *,
Relative newbie, pls be patient...
I have successfully created a TSM PD/PS/MC/POOLS and backed up a 265GB
filesystem to TAPE. The TAPE pool definition is:
VDE: Nolimit
VDD: Nolimit
REV: Nolimit
ROV: Nolimit
Overflow Location: offsite
My question(s):
What is the best method to 1) check the tapes out, 2) ensure the data is
keep FOREVER, 3) is recoverable, at anytime, 4) whatever I am missing!!!
AHIA, thx...
Mr. Lindsey Thomson
