Muhammad Sadat was rumored to have written: > I wonder if TSM supports Open VMS as server or client?? There's no TSM server software for OpenVMS BUT yes, OpenVMS can be a TSM client if you purchase an additional commercial third party software called ABC which uses the TSM API. I do not have any VMS servers left but I know a VMS system manager who uses TSM + ABC and is very pleased with both software. For more information, please see: http://www.rdperf.com/RDHTML/ABC.HTML The license pricing information is at: http://www.rdperf.com/RDDOC/ABC_PRICE_LIST.DOC I do not have any business relationships with the company, and have never used it myself... only heard about it from someone who has it. Also, keep in mind that this does not provide any bare metal restore ("BMR") capabilities... you still have to use the standalone BACKUP utility to disk or tape to have a supported bootable restore from scratch for that. -Dan (I still have at home: a VAX, two Alphas, and an emulated VAX via SIMH, all running 7.2 and 7.3, so I am familiar with OpenVMS.)
