I have a situation where the design that was originally implemented to back up some NAS Filers using a Linux TSM Server has not worked out in practice. We are thus looking to re-implement on Windows. I'd really prefer not to have to do everything from scratch particularly as the initial backup takes on the order of 10 days.
Is there some aspect, other than the platform itself, which suggests that a Windows TSM server will answer this need better than a Linux one?
Has anyone tried to restore a TSM V6 DB from Linux to windows? If its not directly possible can it be "converted" using DB2 export/import tools?
The canon is that you can't restore cross-platform, which I guess you know. I think that if you used DB2 level tools to shoehorn a backup from platform A into platform B, you'd be in an Unsupported Configuration par excellence. I'd be afraid that it would mostly work, as in not show problems for "A while", and then leave you up a semiliquid creek. - Allen S. Rout
