Your scenario would be helpful to recover a lost filesystem or a lost
client in the datacenter, but for Disaster Recovery, we must assume we'll
be rebuilding the TSM server plus several critical clients at another
site... and that requires tape, unless you can justify spending big bucks
schedule since you'll have to make new backupsets probably every week or
two. Secondly, restoring from backupsets effectively single-threads that
client because all of it's data is on one or maybe two tapes.
Good luck, and please keep us posted on your results!
