  • Subject: Running a Backup to Concurrent Tapes
  • From: "Law, Tom" <actlaw@xxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 08:16:06 -0500


> Management wants us to send copies of our daily and weekly  backup tapes
> to a Storage Vendor located next to our Disaster Recovery Center in
> Chicago.  I have a problem with this as we are a lights out operation and
> I do not want to manually DUP the tapes.  We have to do this for 7
> AS400's. Two at 3.2 and 5 at 4.4 all using different tape media (3590,
> 3570, 3490).
> 
> What I would like to do is output to 2 tapes concurrently for each Backup.
> We could do this on the Mainframe but I can not find a way to do this on
> an AS/400.  Does anyone know of a way?
> 
> Note:
> We are a 24 x 7 shop.
> The backup window is very small and I can not run a backup twice.
> 
> Any help is greatly appreciated.
> 
> Thanks
