We run TSM for z/OS as well and have been told it will not be upgraded beyond the V5.5.5 that it currently is at. If we want, we can run TSM for z/Linux. We are been trying it out and have gotten around the tape issue by writing the backups from z/Linux TSM to Data Domain using NFS Mounts to the Data Domain box.

I guess we're one of the other four. TSM for z/OS works great for us. It's hooked into our mainframe-based "cron" facilities, uses large DASD EAVs, uses the same tapes and drives that HSM uses--which get moved by RMM to the same off-site locations, etc. I really don't want to try to come up with an alternate PC and zFS file backup strategy... -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html nor...@desertwiz.biz Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html The information in this Internet Email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
