On the source system, use the smtape backup command to copy all volume Snapshot copies,
including the base Snapshot copy, to tape, and use the smtape continue command to continue
the copy if more than one backup tape is necessary.
2. Physically transport the backup tapes from the source system to the destination system.
3. On the destination system, use the vol create and vol restrict commands to set up a
SnapMirror target volume.
4. Use the smtape restore command to copy the initial SnapMirror tape to the destination
system and, if necessary, use the smtape continue command to continue the copy if it is stored
on more than one backup tape.
5. Either use the snapmirror update command to manually mirror an incremental update from
the source to the destination system over the low-bandwidth connection, or edit the
snapmirror.conf file to set up an incremental update schedule from the source to destination
system.
6. After completing manual or scheduled incremental update over a connection, you can use the
snapmirror release command to eliminate the source-to-tape relationship and associated
Snapshot copy.
