When I remove nodes for good and someone wants a copy kept forever, I create 2-exports and then delete from TSM. That way on the off chance they want something, I simply import back into a TSM server.

I'm not sure how to handle that request; I could mark the volumes 'offsite', but they're really going out of the system completely. But I don't want to remove the contents of the tape, or move the tape contents to some other volume, so 'delete volume' doesn't sound right. Any suggestions? TSM 5.3, running on RHEL.
