Jorge,
Where did you find the statement, "Next major release following
NetBackup 6.0 will not support this OS version. This status could change
if market and/or vendor support positions change"? I poked around in
the NetBackup section of symantec.com, but didn't find it.

Subject: Re: tape backups
Our heads agree that TSM it's expensive.
We will choose between:
1) Bacula / Amanda writing to z/OS by: FTP or NFS (hypersockets !!!).
We'll
backup approx 1 TB by month, then could be 250 GB weekly. I need this
space
in z/OS dasd, would be great writing directly to tape (maybe ftp'ing
with a
specific HLQ, so SMS allocates it in tape).
2) Connect the "tape ecosystem" to z/VM LPAR. The machine where it runs
is
already working with tapes.
We have IBM VTS B20 on peer to peer (in progress...).
I don't understand why Symantec discontinues Veritas Netbackup on
z/Linux
"Next major release following NetBackup 6.0 will not support this OS
version. This status could change if market and/or vendor
support positions change"
Thanks
