To protect client data, back up your primary storage pools to copy storage pools. For fast client restores, copy active client backup data that is in primary storage pools to active-data pools.
About this task
A typical Tivoli® Storage Manager configuration includes a primary disk pool and primary tape pool for data backup. Copy storage pools contain active and inactive versions of data that is backed up from primary storage pools. Figure 1 shows a configuration with an onsite FILE-type active-data pool and an offsite copy storage pool.
