Jignesh,

You are probably a lot better off going directly to TSM. Reason
being, during a recovery (rollforward), DB2 will automatically
retrieve the required files from TSM.

If you backup to a directory and then archive to tape with TSM,
then you'd need to first (manually) restore files from TSM, and
then issue your rollforward. Plus, you probably don't know which
files to restore... So you may spend a lot of time restoring log
files that may not be necessary.
