As far as I know the people around here that uses TSM with AFS do a 'vos dump' to put the volume on a stagingdisk and then take a backup of the disk. We do the same but use NetBackup. 'butc' destroyed our first tapedrive as it was not fast enough to get the tape streaming. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
