Like I said -- the questions are crawling out of the wood-work. Our management wants to reduce the possible data loss in the event of a disaster by taking copies off-site both in the early morning and again at the end of first shift.
Is anyone else doing this? Will this be as painfull as I expect it to be? I know I'll have issues with reclaims -- I currently run expire inventory at noon, with reclaims kicking in shortly thereafter and sometimes running to 8:00 PM, so I'll have to implement a reclaim window. Electronic off-siting isn't an option -- I've seen us cut 400 MB Oracle redo logs for our SAP/R3 database at the rate of one every 2.5 minutes for extended time periods (and this is explicitly the data that has to go off-site). I'd need multiple T1 lines to cover the traffic, and the cost of a single T1 is considered to be "too high". I'm currently running TSM 5.1.6.3, planning on upgrading to 5.3.current in the next two weeks. TIA Tom Kauffman NIBCO Inc
