Folks, I have a SuSE Linux 2.4.19 system running on an lpar. I was planning on using Tivoli Storage Manager client for file-level backup to our NT-based TSM server (which would then send the data to the open-system side of our IBM VTS). [TSM is the standard mechanism for our proprietary 'open-system' backups.]
But the lpar also has access to the s/390 side of the VTS. Have others used programs like dar or amanda to provide the same capability (file-level backing up to the VTS) without the network overhead (shipping the data out over the network). If so, and the s/390 side of the VTS is shared with other OS/390 lpars, can I rely on the VTS to manage the tapes (whether their scratch or not, ala TMS) or is there other software I need or would this run a foul with TMS on the OS/390 lpars?
