Improve TSM DB protection

Currently TSM Server v6 supports the following recovery targets: 1) PIT of the TSM DB backup; 2) most recent PIT. This RFE is opened to request an enhancement to improve TSM DB recoverability by leveraging existing native DB2 functionality to allow the recovery from an online DB2 database backup followed by a rollforward to any desired PIT using the archived transcation logs. This request calls for the following changes: 1) Ensure that TSM Server transaction logs stored on a secure external media for a desired/configurable time (use of the local archive log file system is not secure); 2) Allow the rollforward to custom PIT following the TSM DB backup restore

    This is still being considered for a release in the next year or two. This is not a statement of commitment as IBM plans are subject to change. We will provide an update should those plans change or the support is delivered.
