Ohh Bacula - I'd forgotten about that. I did some interesting testing using a suggestion David Boyes put out. Basically exported an NFS share from z/OS mounted on the Linux instance of the Bacula File Server and hasd Bacula do disk backups to the NFS Share. We had HSM managing the exported HLQ on z/OS to migrate to tape aggessivily, and Bacula managed the expiration and deletion of the "tapes" that were really disk files.
Worked really well over the hipersockets.
