Ask CA. I believe that DMS was one of the first products acquired by Sterling Software, which was acquired by CA ca. 1999.
Bill Fairchild -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Porowski Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 3:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: DMS Backup I have a couple of old backup tapes from 1995ish that I believe were created with a product called DMS. The tapes are historical data from a series of company acquisitions so the original creators are unavailable even to confirm that that was the software used. Does anyone know the history of DMS and if it is still available? A search seems to point to CA-DISK as the current product but I cant be sure if that is true or if there was another product by that name. Does anyone know if there is an eyecatcher in the file contents that could reasonably prove this is indeed a DMS backup (similar to the THAT'S ALL FOLKS in FDR backups)? Thanks all.
