You can use BRMS from IBM or RobotSave from Help Systems. You need the
AS/400 API installed on the AS/400. We had two as/400 backing up to TSM
both working but one was very slow (640 with 100mb card). The 830 w/gb
ethernet is as fast as any other client that I have (11.3GB is 30 minutes).
Not sure if this is the processor or the ethernet card since the 640 does
not have a gig card. I think this just shows that if you through the
hardware at it it will work but if you don't it is very slow. You must
configure everything on the AS/400 side and you just register the node in
TSM.

BRMS is the client for the AS400. I have used it to back up 3 AS400s. I
wasn't thrilled with it. You still have to use BRMS for your scheduling,
retention periods, object selections, and etc. All you do is point BRMS to
use TSM as the tape device. You still have to deal with the control groups
and policies in BRMS. TSM does nothing but writes the data to tape.

Subject: AS/400 Backup
Hi gurus.
Our TSM server is an AIX 4.3.
We have some AS/400 machines and we want back up them with our TSM
server. Is it possible?
Is there any As/400 client software for accomplish that backup ? Perhaps
BRMS?
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards
Raul Giraldo Suarez.
