Would you prefer to have one? Which one and why? One - TSM. Why? Having multiple back and recovery environments just invites confusion and terf wars. It's non-productive. If you need a security wall just setup another TSM server for those isolated boxes. > I also have a separate question for those with mainframes.

I don't work in a shop that has one any longer, but, TSM started on the Mainframe, so . . .
