Client for VMS on a Digital Alpha box
We have an older Digital Alpha box (4+ years) that we are going to load VMS onto one day soon. Does TSM have a client to back this thing up? I've looked around the Tivoli web site but I didn't see it. Am I blind? We are running TSM 4.1 on the backup server so I imagine that most any client will talk to the server. Thanks...

Re: Client for VMS on a Digital Alpha box
Hi David, There is an Add-in for TSM/VMS backups, but I believe its a 3rd party product... I'm sure that someone will respond on that But... As a VMS System Manager for many years, I would suggest that you ensure that your backup regime includes regular OpenVMS Image backups, preferably Standalone Backups (Bare metal recovery since the 1980's!!), using the VMS backup command set. Or at least a "Backup/image/ignore=interlock". Backup on VMS is a superb tool, but if you need more control I can recommend "Tapesys" from SP32/Inc, which uses hooked native VMS Backup, which can be restored from the VMS command line... pretty useful. (Tivoli would do well to look at this product... The will get some ideas about how a backup product should be - ie. Built in Report Writer) I hope that this helps.. PS. I am a fan, I have no other interests in Tapesys or OpenVMS. Rgds.

I was hoping that I wouldn't need to go to a third party solution. Does TSM have something themselves? -Original Message- From: Coviello, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Client for VMS on a Digital Alpha box yes they do it is not the same type of client your use to ie:(windows,Unix) go to the following website www.storsol.com look for a product ABC Archive Backup Client for VMS. paul Paul J Coviello Sr Systems Analyst Catholic Medical Center 2456 Brown Ave Manchester NH 03103 (603) 663-5326 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Tyree, David [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 11:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Client for VMS on a Digital Alpha box > > We have an older Digital Alpha box (4+ years) that we are going to > load VMS onto one day soon.

Re: Client for VMS on a Digital Alpha box
Yes, we have had the Archive Backup Client (ABC) for six years. It is a V3 client (but that's neither here nor there) and runs against any V3 or later server including 4.2.0.1 that is shipping now. The client is very OpenVMS like as well as Unix like with one minor difference: instead of dsm.sys and dsm.opt we use adsm.sys and adsm.opt. This is due to a conflict in OpenVMS land with Digital Standard Mumps, DSM! Silly but the way it is. You can scope our website listed below for complete details and contact Diane or Katie at R&D Performance Group for pricing and a trial PAK. Their number is 805-520-4170. If you have any technical questions feel free to email me. Thanks, Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.
