Move volumes off-site
You should move the backup volumes to your off-site location. We recommend
that you track the tapes in a movement log.
Reusing backup tapes
You should keep a minimum of three days of database backup tapes. If you want
to allow for holiday weekends, then a larger number, such as four or five, may be
more appropriate. Our book environment uses five tapes.
The steps that you need to perform to reuse database backup tapes are:
1. Identify the volumes to be brought on-site.
2. Move the tape volumes from off-site to on-site.
3. Update the volume to scratch.
4. Check storage volumes in to a library.
Identify the volumes to be brought on-site
Database backups remain active until their entry is deleted from the volume
history. However, once it has been deleted, Tivoli Storage Manager has no
knowledge of the volume at all.
As there is no way to display just the oldest database backup volumes, we use
the
query volhistory
command to identify all tape volumes containing database
backups older than a specific number of days. The volumes you require are
those with the oldest time stamp. The command shown in Example 13-44 uses
nine days.
