As everyone has says, the z/OS TSM client will only backup the Unix
Services or OMVS part of z/OS. 3592-J1A drives are cheaper than
3590-H1A drives and a whole lot faster. A few of these drives on a
3592-J70 controller can consume a FICON express 2 channel. If you have
FICON available, consider
We currently have an AIX 5 ML6, TSM 5.2.6 server backing up most of our
clients.
We also have an IBM z/OS mainframe, V1R4 which has been independently
backing itself up using (i believe) dfshsm straight to some ancient
3490E drives. We're running into problems fast with this backup
scenario,

The TSM client for z/OS is for the Unix System Services (USS) component

percentage of the z/OS system. The regular z/OS system is backed up
with DFHSM or some equivalent 3rd party product, both of which function
similarly to TSM.
I
is a unix-style filesystem living
INSIDE a mainframe-style VSAM data set container.
So the mainframe backup product can back up the container file, but if
you want backups broken down to the file level inside, you use the TSM
z/OS client.
Try looking for some mainframe tape drives on the used
