My heart leapt when my RSS reader presented me an article in the TSM udpates feed from IBM with the heading, "Keeping more than one TSM server database backup on a tape." As I'm implementing a new server using 3592 drives, I haven't been happy with my options for this particular issue. Maybe, I thought, I was about to learn something of immediate use and high value!
My heart sank when I read the actual article, which might be paraphrased as, "Sorry, Charlie, too risky." Back to asking for some LTO drives just for small, inexpensive tapes for DB backups.
