Hello again,

Do you have some how-to setup NFS on z/OS for this purpose. Is it better
to use z/OS UNIX files or conventional MVS data sets.
Is it necessary to use translation tables (EBCDIC-ASCII, Unicode?)
Is it necessary to setup NFS clients on z/OS, or only NFS server?

We have also TSM backup environment here in the shop (NT), as I understood
in your presentation, you give advantage to HSM on z/OS. What is the key
advantage to use HSM on z/OS?

Thank you,
Marija

Glad you found the presentation helpful. I would suggest creating a new
Linux image as a Bacula server (get the recently release version 1.38 --
it
has lots of improvements that make it friendly to mainframe use), and
installing the Bacula client on your other Linux guests.

If your tape drives are normally owned by z/OS, then use HSM. If you can
spare a drive or two to your VM system, Bacula 1.38 understands IBM
standard
labels now, so you could use the drives directly.

Contact me off-list if you need help setting up the Bacula environment.
