EXPERT ADVICE
Prevent accidental erasure of tapes
Ken Graap, recovery advice

Dear Ken,
We are currently using two cartridges per day on our iSeries production server for our daily batch processing. We are mirroring our production files across to a remote iSeries machine using Vision Solutions software (OMS). To prevent accidental erasure of cartridges before their expiry date, there is a proposal to use BRMS software. How can BRMS help us in this area?

THE MISSING LINK
Microsoft co-founder kicks in $13.5M to find ET

Not content to spend his fortune on this planet alone, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen will send a few million to other parts of the universe. Actually, his money will stay on terra firma, but it will buy windows -- no, not those Windows -- onto other worlds. Allen, a noted sci-fi buff, recently donated $13.5 million to fund a network of radio telescopes that will search for signs of extraterrestrial life. (Geek.com)
