The ADSM servers at one of our customers have tons of capacity and handle most of the 200 or so AIX boxes very well. I would love to have a 'non-commercial license is free' version that would handle my AIX, FreeBSD, Windows and Linux machines here. The first stage cache is a set of drives. It hits the tape immediately, but a restore of config or source files is fast if they change often. It drives tape libraries the size of a rack cabinet or as small as a shoe box. It ensures that consecutive backups are on different tapes and tracks how much usage *each* tape and drive has had for maintenance. It's GUI could be improved, but I use the command-line-restore-of-previous-file feature (Homer mode 8{) most often. It has removed a *lot* of worry over backups and helped us evangelize to the mainframers that Unix can do tape management beyond 'tar' to 8mm... Having it on FreeBSD would improve conversations reguarding it's use there. - Jy@ On Fri, 11 Feb 2000, Andrzej Bialecki wrote: > On Thu, 10 Feb 2000, Mitch Collinsworth wrote: > > I haven't looked at it closely but I think IBM's ADSM does most or all > > of this.
