AIX has different types of filesystems (JFS, DFS, AFS, etc). PC's have different types of filesystems (NFS, FAT). Mainframes also can have different types of coexisting filesystems these days.
Most of the mainframe data is "legacy" MVS format data. It has a catalog structure that is very unlike UNIX or Wintel directory structures. TSM does NOT understand that type of filesystem. To back it up, you need an MVS backup product. Mainframes can also now have UNIX-style filesystems (which are called HFS filesystems). They are directory based, and there is a TSM client that understands them and can back them up. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 1:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mainframe backups?
