Thanks everyone. And thanks for the offer for the REXX exec Ed. I think what my company wants to bring in is something that supports standard label tapes and some automation. Brent

What is everyone out > there using? Brent, If you are looking for a no cost solution, I have a REXX EXEC that we have been using here for years. You would be welcome to have a copy of it if you like. It reads a control file that lists all mini disks you want to have backed up. There are some negatives: - non labeled tapes - not much automation - manual restores, very easy to do though But the price is right! Let me know if you are interested.
