Thanks! It is easier to satisfy yourself about this if you can catch the TSM server while the backup is running. If you q sess and see your TDPO sessions running, then q sess f=d; if they're writing to tape, they will have a tape drive noted in their 'Media Access Status'. If you are trying to prove something about a past session, then I suggest: Q ACT for the time range of the backup, searching on your TDPO nodename. Find all the SESSIONS it started. Then for each session Q ACT for that same time range, searching on the session number. You may need to search on "SESSION: [session no]" especially if the session number is small, to avoid false matches. If your data is hitting serial media pools, you'll see the sessions mount and close serial volumes. If not, they're hitting DISK stgpools. Doable, but tedious. - Allen S. Rout
