Zoltan, The answer to your first query is yes you can create backupsets with a file device class and let sms manage them, including dfhsm migrate to tape if you want. Not sure what you are trying to achieve in your second question, and have not done this myself, but I believe 1) The client would definitely have to be same os as original backupset client 2) Restorability would depend on what local devices allowed for that particular client.

Can the output be a disk file (i.e. can I create a DEVICE CLASS of FILE and let SMS manage the files being created ?) Once I create the BACKUPSET file, can I say, FTP it to another platform, i.e. my PC ? so that anyone could restore from it, using the client ? ********************************************************************** The information in this E-Mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.
