> > Since TSM has been stabilized by IBM, we are looking for alternatives to Backup and DR solutions for our Linux environment. We currently run FDR full volume backups during low use periods but that results in 'fuzzy' backups unless the Linux server is down at the time of backup. > Last week I was invited as a guest speaker to the IBM TopGun School and arrived early. I sat in on a presentation talking about all the great things which is going to be available for TSM for z/OS Version 6. Presently I run TSM V5 and have seen things about the death of TSM for z/OS with the excuse they could not get z/OS-DB2 to perform very well and gave up trying.
I challenged the speaker with the above info and there seems to be some question within IBM as to what is the status of TSM for z/OS V6. I too had read the comment about IBM admiting the decision would really upset many users of the product. I sent the speaker off into TSM land to find out if indeed I too will have to look elsewhere outside of IBM for a TSM like product. Stay tuned TSM fans and hopefully IBM is rethinking a questionable choice. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
