Hi Joni,
In my opinion, you should always use ROLLFORWARD, unless you run into a
performance or capacity limitation that prevents you from doing so.
If you use rollforward mode and you have a hardware crash or a software
crash that causes you to have to restore your DB, TSM will restore the DB,

Copy pools do not belong to a primary pool.
The destination for the primary pool data is determined by the command that
backs it up: BACKUP STGPOOL primary copypool
And in theory, you could send it to one copy pool on Monday, and a different

No, because you are getting 98% + Cache Hit Pct which is about
as good as it gets. This doesn't impact DB backup/restore I don't think.
You need to increse size of DB itself at 99% full that is probably
a problem. Maybe need two TSM servers with load split between them.
