I'm considering to buy sysback product soon. Here are some questions if you don't mind..
― How would sysback make bootable CD if it doesn't fit into 1 CD? ― Can I make mksysb and savevg on 1 set of CD? so that I don't even need to use TSM restore? ― What kind of IBM product do you use as CD writer like external one? ― Can you share CD writer from NIM master for other nim client machine? Thanks, Gus >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/21/04 10:42AM >>> Just a quick clarification: sysback does not require nim. I create and use bootable tapes and CD's with sysback. They are the core of my DR processes.

You could always backup your mksysb image to a disk flat file and backup that file to tsm, but the problem there is you use your system image. Unless you use it as the nim server and configure bootp to use that file. Just some ideas to play with. For system images though you'd need sysback I believe. thanks!. --Justin Richard Bleistein |---------+----------------------------> | | "Crawford, Lindy"| | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | P.CO.ZA> | | | Sent by: "ADSM: | | | Dist Stor | | | Manager" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | .EDU> | | | | | | | | | 04/21/2004 09:58 | | | AM | | | Please respond to| | | "ADSM: Dist Stor | | | Manager" | | | | |---------+----------------------------> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: TSM AIX system backup | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hi TSMers, Please could you assist me, how can we do a mksysb backup to tape.....????
