Right I get it. I assume you are wanting to do this so you can offsite your data electronically rather than manually?
I know this is going a bit OT, but what are your options as far as moving TSM2 offsite to where the library is? does it have many/any clients that need it where it is? Also, what experience do you have with TSM server to serve stuff i.e. using a remote library manager AND what experience with 3494 libs?
