Dear Bj0rn, I agree wiht Curtis, we did the same thing also when migrating Netbackup or Brighstor to TSM.

Are you saying you're going to stop using TSM and start using some other backup software, but that you have a bunch of tapes that you still want to restore from? This is generally impossible with any backup software. (There are some exceptions like Backup Exec -> NetBackup, but they're from the same company.) You have three choices, AFAIK: 1. Keep TSM around for restores as longs you need them. 2. Use indexengines.com. They can parse the old tapes and do restores and retrievals from them without TSM. 3. Do the incredibly painful process of restoring all the data, then backing it up with your new software. Yuck. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bjørn Nachtwey Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 8:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Migration Tools TSM=>Somewhat? Hi Everybody, does anyone know any tools for the migration of the TSM meta data to another Backup software? I'm going to replace my TSM servers and have to explain, why I do not migrate to another software or another OS. Is there any software that allows to copy the meta data from the TSM-DB to another software, so that's not necessary to export and import the raw data from the tapes? if no one knows, it would be easy for me ;-) thanks & best reagds, Bjørn -- ######################################################################## Dipl.-Ing.
