hi Bruce, migration *MOVES* your clients' data from a PRIMARY storage pool to a NEXT PRIMARY storage pool, e.g. from DISK to a primary TAPE pool.
backup stgpool *COPIES* clients' data stored on a PRIMARY pool to a COPY pool (that has to be SEQUENTIAL, i.e. a tape pool). after the successful backup of a primary storage pool, you will have 2 copies of data on TSM server, and you can send the 2nd copy to an off-site location (vault). see: help migrate stg help backup stg hope it helps. regards Gabriel Peter On 1 Oct 2007, 18:35, Dollens, Bruce wrote: > I have a question that I feel a little stupid in asking. > > What is the difference between migration and backup primary (disk) to > copy (tape)? > > I am working on changing my scheduling up and the recommended order of > steps I was given is: > > Backup clients > Migration > Backup primary to copy > Backup db > Expiration > Reclamation > Start all over again > > Thanks!
