Re: SunGard

Back in the early 90's when I worked at a fortune 500 firm (Kerr-McGee), we used a Sunguard site in Philly, PA do perform DR tests every 6 mos. Pack-up a ton of 3480/3490 tapes and off our staff went. This was for a IBM 3090-400J (??) mainframe I was a lowly grunt at that time in the data center.
