Tom, I email the DRM plans to my office and home email accounts. Just make sure you send it somewhere that will be accessible during a disaster. That is why I send a copy to my home email account. Also, a copy is sent to systems administrators and other key personnel just in case I happen to be part of the disaster.
Additionally, I have a backup TSM server at a remote location that gets a copy of my data via virtual volumes. I use NFS to copy the DRM plan along with the Volume_History, Device_Configuration and dsmserv.opt files to my backup TSM server.

We've never used the DRM module in TSM -- it was far too expensive when we first started, so we rolled our own procedures (which work quite well, I might add :-) but I'd like to look at DRM now that it's part of the suite. So -- for those of you using DRM -- how do you get the plan file and associated scripts off-site? I'm running on AIX; the system has the TSM tape library and a DVD-RAM drive. The hotsite system is in the same boat -- so floppy is out. And a mksysb to the DVD drive takes about 4 hours to write, so that won't be a daily occurance.
