Re: HSM Backup to Disk

VTS does wonders for HSM. Others have made good points about having all of the backup copies on disk. One other thing that I would like to point out would be the increase in CPU consumption and elapsed time. With tape, the compression is done within the tape controller. If you are backing

Re: HSM Backup to Disk

Moving HSM backup to disk is just one option we are looking at, we are also looking at VTS which I think is going to be the best solution for us. I was told by our DASD vendor that HSM is architected to use tape for backup, and using disk can be harder to manage. To implement a VTS would mean

Re: HSM Backup to Disk

Sounds about right. There is an HSM parameter the can direct backup output to disk instead of tape. Could'nt find it in a quick perusal. You and also accelerate the elimination of tape with the recycleoutput parameter and run recycles until all tapes are released. HTH and good luck,

HSM Backup to Disk

First off, I would like to say I am not an HSM expert, I am supporting HSM while a coworker is on medical leave. The company is looking to eliminate tape from the environment and I would like to know the best (or perhaps only) way to move HSM automatic backup from tape to disk. My feeling is
