HI, I'm using this solution.
You must save all your data with BRMS and TSM API But you must save your BRMS Catalog on the iOS with a tape. Then I think (depend of your volume) BRMS is suffisant if you have already a tape on the system.

I have customers who have used it successfully, and customers who have found it inadequate. Whether it works for you depends largely on the amount of data per day you have to deal with. The code is on the FTP site. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r5/OS400/v553/ It's not a "client" like the windows or Unix client, it's an API for BRMS. BRMS is a backup product for the I-Series. The API lets BRMS send data to TSM. Pros: * If the customer is already using BRMS, the setup is very easy. Follow instructions in the redbook. * You install the API on the I-Series, and that gives BRMS an additional destination to select for sending data. Your I-Series folks don't really need to learn anything new, they still use their BRMS interface, run their BRMS jobs like always, the data just goes over the network to TSM instead of to local tape, making their lives easier. * Easy way to get your AS400 data to TSM media and rolled into your DR vaulting scheme. * No license required. Cons: * If the customer isn't using BRMS already, it's a steep learning curve (BRMS may be a $cost item for I-Series, not sure). * You can only send "library" data to TSM, the bootable system/OS backup (sorry I don't know the I-Series name for that) still has to be done to local, I-Series-readable media - usually a DVD. * Speed is the big issue. There is something funky about the API so that you get SLOWER than GIGE speed. Dunno why there has been no initiative in Tivoli to fix that (or if the problem is on the BRMS side). But plan on it being relatively slow. If the customer is doing local backups to 3490-style tape now, switching to Tivoli will be the same speed or even faster, and it will be a good thing. If the customer is doing local backups to LTO3-4 tape now, switching to Tivoli will slow things down. If there isn't too much data, fine. You might be able to deal with it by rescheduling some backups - was able to work it at one customer by running backups in parallel instead of serially. If you have less than 400GB per day to back up, you can probably make it work. More than that, it will probably not be satisfactory.

If so, where did you get the client from TSM or IBM?
