DITTO/Tape Copy Redux
I've been scouring archives for 3480 3490, tape copying, and all that good stuff. To bring it up one more time... 1. Thousands of 3480 tapes to go into future VTS 2. Some multi-file, many multi-volume 3. Cataloged, so name has to reflect new locale 4. No, we don't have vendor tools other than DITTO 5. Estimate by outside party of $250K and boss ain't buying that Suggestions...besides large doses of no-doz and moving into datacenter... As always...TIA. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: DITTO/Tape Copy Redux
...we used something from Prince Software, if memory serves, to convert an entire library 3480 to 3490...with TMS...was quick (-mounts) and pretty much painfree...cost was, if memory serves, in the $35K bracket for the software..

Re: DITTO/Tape Copy Redux
I understand that we are looking for the least expensive solution (free) and buying other tools doesn't appear to be an option for the moment. But I do appreciate the suggestions. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: DITTO/Tape Copy Redux
There is a (I think) Freebie from CA. IIRC its included if you have CA-1. My memory is sketchy but a few people have used it successfully.
