IBM's TS7740 Copy Export Challenges

This session discusses the challenges inherent in implementing the TS7740 copy export function as well as its operational limits, opportunities and benefits. We will explore the "Ins & Outs" of planning for an efficient and effective implementation designed to take full advantage of copy export's features while avoiding its potential pitfalls.
Learn how to automate and manage the copy export process including setup, daily operation, error detection, and recovery. Consider various Tips & Techniques to minimize manual processes and maximize media usage. Most importantly, ensure that data needed for recovery is present on the copy export tapes as well as which tapes are needed for recovery and which tape(s) have the current copy export database. Understand the requirements for local recovery of lost data and track all datasets written to the TS7740.
