Lieven, The great thing about Tape/Copy is that we do have many customers using the product. If you would like a list of customer references you can email me directly or give us a call at the 800 number listed below. IBM and STK professional services use Tape/Copy whenever they perform any migrations.
Tape/Copy does copy both cataloged and non-cataloged tapes without first identifying the volume serial number. Tape/Copy is able to stack if you want to stack to high density tape (3590,3592, 9840) and select enough datasets to fill the tape. Tape/Copy can also unstack all the datasets on a stacked tape or extract one file or a list of files from a stacked tape. Tape/Copy can also identify what tapes are in an ATL and which are in a VTL. Tape/Copy does have an ESTAE routine and is capable of continuing after a bad tape if you are not stacking. Once a tape dataset is migrated to a new volume the TMS is updated with the original information, such as created date/time/program. We do not expect you the customer to write any home-grown code to update the TMS. Tape/Copy does support and have customers running all of the know Tape Management systems, CA1, TLMS, RMM, Control-T, Zara.
