Hey Graham, For Backup and Archive data, yes, you can use EXPORT NODE - but because you are on v4.x of TSM, you'll have to export it to a DEVCLASS and IMPORT NODE on the other side. (That devclass can be a FILE devclass, so with some NFS, you can do it via a file system.)
With TSM v5.x, you can export directly to a SERVER (In both cases, the export results in reading of off the original media and creating new media. There is no method of moving tapes to a new TSM server and having TSM recognise it.) Your backupsets are not TSM Managed, so your backup set tapes CAN be moved immediately to the new server and you can DEFINE BACKUPSET if you want the server to know about them. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 20/11/2003 01:03:44 PM: > Guys (and gals), > > Is there a way to migrate node information (backup data, backupsets etc) > between TSM servers?
