In my opinion, this is the best reason for using raw logical volumes. To
speed up disaster recovery. You do not need to spend time with dsmfmt.
Another speed-up trick at a disaster recovery site is to come up with a very

Yes, and it does have two benefits
- no need to dsmfmt
- better performance (slightly on AIX, big improvement on Solaris)
AFAIK there no big drawbacks.

What you need to do is to launch the Backup-Archive GUI interface (dsm)

backed up in.

You can also perform a find through the GUI, all you need to know is the file name.
If you need to know the tape it is on you can perform a restore, you should be able to

If you look through your activity log you will see when the disk storage

low and high water migration values.
Ideally you would like to have enough disk space to backup all your
clients to disk w/out triggering a migration
Have a look at journal based backups on the TSM client. It is new with TSM
4.2. This new service records changes to files on the client as they are
