Last I recall we had HSM tapes in our Silo circa 1995, IIRC, those tapes were copied outside the SILO using COPYCAT, DFDSS dump tapes also. also we were also able to copy CATIA backup tapes with no issues

Do you have to lead the OP away from this minefield or road full of potholes? ;-D I wonder if those suggested utilities mentioned earlier take 100% care on what exactly is sitting on a tape and then use the right access method. Last time I checked, some of them can automatically re-block the datasets according on the setup of destination media.

Before the welcome rain, they were about 21% full and drying up. ;-D ;-D ;-D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
