Re: Another IBM tape not for z/OS

2018-12-07 Thread Russell Witt
Where I disagree is when you compare a "backup with air gap" to a "replicated copy". A replicated copy is corrupted at the same time that primary is corrupted. A "backup with air gap" is not. Now, can you create a "backup with air gap" on DASD - yes, I believe you can now. However, a "backup on

I did NOT say "replicated copy". Backup on DASD means some form of *backup*, but on DASD. "Replicated copy" - I understand it as remote copy, like PPRC, SRDF, TrueCopy, etc. - it is NOT a backup. Such copy protect my data against datacenter disaster, but not against software or human error.

IMHO, the air gap for tape in ATL or even more for virtual tape is as (in)secure as copy on DASD. Disclaimer: I understand "air gap" as "physical separation" backup from the system, just to be sure the backup cannot be destroyed by human mistake or any other error. I hope I understood this
