Sounds about right. There is an HSM parameter the can direct backup output to disk instead of tape. Could'nt find it in a quick perusal. You and also accelerate the elimination of tape with the recycleoutput parameter and run recycles until all tapes are released.
HTH and good luck, <quote. First off, I would like to say I am not an HSM expert, I am supporting HSM while a coworker is on medical leave. The company is looking to eliminate tape from the environment and I would like to know the best (or perhaps only) way to move HSM automatic backup from tape to disk. My feeling is we need to obtain the disk space needed well ahead of the elimination of tape, then set backups to go to disk instead of tape, and just let the tape backups drop off through attrition. There are some backups that we keep up to 200 days. </quote> ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
