I think > there was an intermediate acquisition that I have forgotten about. for other folklore ... a couple people that worked on AIX system management left and formed a company called tivoli. eventually tivoli was bought up ... and when adstar was sold off ... some of the adstar software packages (as well as other software products) were moved over to tivoli ... for instance ADSM (adstar storage management) became TSM (tivoli storage management). i had done the original backup/archive implementation in the late 70s which was deployed at some number of internal datacenters ... and went thru a number of versions with various other people helping with the work. one of the people involved left ... and worked on a number of backup/archive implementations for other companies ... some of these other implementations may currently be sold by sterling(?). my original backup/archive internal implementation first saw product release as workstation datasave facility which then morphed into ADSM (before being renamed TSM). some old email on the subject http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#cmsback and numerous posts mentioning backup/archive http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#backup ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
