New Well... here I go again....
Seeing as though you have an iSeries...

Get Tivoli Storage Manager... Just plain works... Pain in the A$$ to install a central server... but once done, upgrades or changes are a dream. Is better to install with 5.x now... but when it was ADSM icky.

It is a dream to use, command line or GUI. Plus you can make it so each machine does it's own thing if you want OR you can have a central scheduler and managed tapes drives and changers, etc...

I use it everyday, I cannot imagine my job(err maybe life eh?) without it. It...it... well nothing in my book beats it, NOTHING.

Legato, NETback, TAR, Arkeia, Amanada (is good but hard to get working correctly period), Vertias, CA, BRU (still in Business?), SBACK, BKUP and such... NONE work as slick or better than TSM. NONE.

That's all folks... move along nothing to see here... just move right into IBM's arms please...

Yeah... Yeah... talk to the hand... Face don't wanna know.

New The tricky part is....
This is not purely an IBM shop. They are running nearly
every OS known to mankind, but mainly OS/2, Linux (Intel
and PPC), Solaris, NetWare, and AS/400. I know it's
awesome, but TSM may not go over well with this crowd.

Not only are they distributed globally, each group is
partial to different technologies. The group I'm doing
the LPARs for doesn't know anything about Linux or the
iSeries. They mainly want a stable box and some Java
apps that can talk to DB2. And, they want to be able to
back up their stuff reliably.

I can pitch the idea of TSM to them, but I'm not so sure
they want to take the budget hit. Thanks!

The only reason the bongos are the worst is because AIs have never tried chicken nuggets before.
