Greetings Mehdi The missing part is a client that understands the z/os file systems and also understands the TSM api. There is a client for the OEMVS filesystems that will work with an open TSM server, but not the other z/os file systems.

The issue is not advanced cases like LAN-free or any other scenario that requires awareness of Ficon protocol or the layout of mainframe data sets by AIX. At least we have TCP/IP in common between the two worlds, why not sending backup over TCP/IP? Regards, Mehdi Salehi
