Bacula server on Linux, with hipersocket connection to MVS. Configure NFS server on MVS to export a couple of mod-26 or mod-57 volumes to the Bacula server on Linux. Configure Bacula to use a disk-based backup scheme. Do backups from the data base server instances to the Bacula server. Allow DFSMShsm on MVS to migrate the datasets containing the Bacula tape image files from the NFS-exported volumes to the VTS. If NFS is not an option, run the Bacula storage daemon on USS with backup data configured to go to disk. Again, let DFSMShsm do the heavy lifting to tape. Done. 8-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
