Re Scott's note ..... we have developed a tape services suite for linux/s390-zSeries.
main features .....
Native backup/restore for linux/s390-zSeries, STK silo support, 390-zSeries tape drive sharing across linux images (390 and i386), A virtual tape facility for linux/s390-zSeries, media manager (for keeping track of tapes, what's on 'em, who owns 'em)
If you want to know more drop me a line, we'd be very happy to go into more detail offline of the list!
cheers,
Phil
