What is an export?
Exporting (and Importing) is a copy and
paste operation.
It is a tool for performing heavy
housekeeping and maintenance on the
overall backup/archive environment.

Planning
Planning Considerations
Load balancing
Cutting filespaces from large nodes
Exporting them piecemeal to the same server
as a new Node name
Restartable Exports
root@server_a# mount
REMOTE:/export/reallybig /mnt/a
root@server_a# dsmadmc
[...]
SERVER_A> def devc reallybigfile
FILE maxcap=100G dir=/mnt/a
SERVER_A> export node NODE_1
devc=reallybigfile filed=all
The Non-Export
The non-export is a data base restore.
Build a new server Server_B and use the
most recent database backup to restore
Server_A to it.
Delete everything on Server_B that
duplicates Nodes on other TSM servers
and clean up Server_A
You are left with impossible to export
data on a new server.
