Re: ADSM

Yes, Don't do it!
We looked real hard into this a couple of months ago.

The performance is really bad.

A model 170 (2388) backing up to ADSM on a NT box can only do a little bit 
more than 11GB a hour on a 100Mb network, Also the smaller the box the 
worse the performance with ADSM. compared to native BRMS at around 40 to 
60GB at V4R4 and a even faster rate at V4R5 (I cant find the numbers on this)

I was told from Rochester that a save from a NT ADSM server to a AS400 
client would have 80% the performance of a save file save.


If you are already using BRMS there is no need to complicate things by 
adding another layer.  You cant do a restricted state save using ADSM, 
among other things.

ADSM works ok as a server on the AS/400 to backup other boxes, but not very 
well as a client.

If you need more info let me know.
