Ah, the beauty of TSM: anything (practically) can be stopped and restarted where it left off.
Try doing that with inferior backup products! Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

When you issue the command you may want to use maxpr to use more than 1 process (2 drives) so you can get it done faster. The process may not immediately cancel, but when finishes the aggregate it is copying and tries to go to the next it will stop. Paul D.

I currently have about 100 3590E tapes that I need to initially duplicate and then plan on doing a backup storage pool everyday and send those tapes off site. It is my understanding that to start this whole process I need to do a backup storage pool which will copy all 100 tapes. My question is whether I can cancel that backup command and have it again restart where it left off. I need all my tape drives from 8:00pm to 8:00 am for backups and it will take much longer than the remaining 12 hours to duplicate that data. Thanks Rob Schroeder Famous Footwear
