A better question might be: how are they justifying converting everything to netbackup?

Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 8:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Mainframe/TSM Question I am in a fight to, what looks like, justify why we should keep TSM and not move everything to netbackup. But without going into details (very long and aggravating story in which I may have to leave and look for work elsewhere) I have a question as it relates to the mainframe. We have one here but are not using TSM on it or with it. Whatever delivered mainframe software there is, I think but could be wrong, is all they use. There are 2 3590 drives connected I believe scon, so it can do its thing. How does, if at all, TSM change the environment on the mainframe to be able to back up to LTO Drives? Is it possible or will it still need this unit in the 3494 to do its backups even with TSM? Thanks for any info you can provide.
