We looked at TSM, but we were told that TSM wouldn't backup to mainframe attached (ficon) tape drives. They will backup to FCP attached tape drives.
If some knows that TSM will use ficon tape drives, we will look at it again. But having FCP attached tape drives means: 1. FCP cards ($25K list each) 2. additional tape controller that is FCP attached. 3. Additional 3590 tape drives dedicated to that FCP attached controller. At this point, I would rather have a product like Bacula that can use our existing Ficon attached 3590 tape drives. But right now, the concern is how to do Oracle backups. My December project.

It works but I'm loathe to recommend it, however, because of Tivoli's Byzantine pricing model, and their horrid attitude towards users of mainframe operating systems in general.
