...we used something from Prince Software, if memory serves, to convert an entire library 3480 to 3490...with TMS...was quick (-mounts) and pretty much painfree...cost was, if memory serves, in the $35K bracket for the software..

To bring it up one more time... 1. Thousands of 3480 tapes to go into future VTS 2. Some multi-file, many multi-volume 3. Cataloged, so name has to reflect new locale 4. No, we don't have vendor tools other than DITTO 5. Estimate by outside party of $250K and boss ain't buying that Suggestions...besides large doses of no-doz and moving into datacenter... As always...TIA. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
