One note about conventional wisdom: *always* mirror with hardware when possible. Hardware mirroring is faster and more stable. (Hardware anything--mirroring, compression, encryption, etc.--is almost always faster and more stable.) The only reason TSM ever contained dbvol and logvol mirroring abilities was to accommodate the ADSM server port to Windows, which at the time had no mirroring capabilities. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) US Bank Backup and Recovery Management Office 262.790.3190 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
