The Backup Storage pool doesn't intent to use offsite only. It use for recover from volume damaged too. I think TSM not allow rebuilt damage volume from replicated data.

My understanding is that initial replication will do all data, thereafter only data that is not on the target server. All backups run to the source server - the target server is at a remote site and exists prely for data subject to 'replicate node' processing. Everthing is configured, running the commands results in successful processes and I can see the data in the storage pool on the target server. On both servers, I have a 2tb stgpool for the client backups and a tape library with LTO4 media. Overall, there is approxmately 130tb of data managed in the source TSM server. On the source server, i assume i no longer need to run backup stgpool, as replicate node is producing my offsite copy of the data. On the source server, I still run daily migration processing to empty the pool for the following night's backups. But what about the target server? Does the stgpool have to be large enough to hold ALL data or can i simply run migration processes on that backup pool and leave it at 2tb? Thanks in advance
