If it's a CMS application ... you could use something like FCOPY or VMARC -- pack up the disks into one file per minidisk (APP1 DISK0191) -- then copy those to tape, file by file -- unburst them on the other side to properly sized 3390 minidisks (format them first). Some simple automation would help..
Not as straightforward as DDR, but it would work... (unless the app uses CMS RESERVE disks) Scott On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 2:19 PM, KEETON Dave * SDC <dave.kee...@state.or.us>wrote: > I'm excited at the number of responses to my question!
