We can help migrate a VM:Tape tape catalog over to IBM Tape Manager.
Drop me a note off list if you'd like more information.

Have you worked on converting the VM:Backup tape dataset format to something
homegrown or IBM supported? I think having IBM's backup product know where
something is can be useful but only if you can actually get the data off the
tape.

I'd like to be able to switch to the IBM products but I wouldn't want to
keep VM:Backup licensed for the amount of time that the tape retention
cycle on VM:Backup would have tapes that are still current. This is
especially the case since we are in the process of "getting rid of the
mainframe" and have been in that process for over 10 years. What would
be needed to do something like that would be a conversion tool that
could convert the VM:Backup catalog to the IBM format. I mentioned that
to Tracy Dean a year ago in Seattle at SHARE. I can certainly
understand, however, that CA is not about to permit something like that.
