>We are looking to copy data off of 9840A tapes to 9840D tapes. There are a limited number of free slots in our SL8500, so just letting them wither and die is not an option. Neither is boxing them and mounting on demand. Since there are a limited number of datasets to be stacked we need a cost effective solution.
>Does anyone know of a cheap or better yet free stacking mechanism besides Iebgener? Am in the throws of doing a buy for the same capability utility. My research indicates there are three players. Opentech has a tapecopy, Innovation DP has FATSCOPY, and IBM has Tivoli Tape Optimzer for z/OS. If anyone knows of others, let me know. Each has varying costs involved from quite inexpensive to quite expensive.
