hi have you done something like this before ? I'd like to ask if it's possible to use drives on other TSM server (for example TSM2), that is used only to manage this single manual drive. Main tsm server (for example TSM1) should use this drive for backups.
Is it possible to define this drive directly on TSM1 ? (of course i have to define it on TSM2 first) or i have to define pool on TSM2 and share this pool in some way ? thanks for any information Regards Julius On Mon, Aug 04, 2003 at 11:52:30AM +0300, Zlatko Krastev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your salesman is correct.
