Re: Limitations of the DUPTAP Command

In case they purchased the Enterprise Edition package, BRMS is included 
with that.  So, in effect, they might have already paid for it.

Re: Limitations of the DUPTAP Command






I would love to get BRMS, but in the event that they don't want to spend 
the money for it, is there some better way, using the VOL param perhaps?

Whereas w/ the old tapes, a monthly save would fit on most of two tapes,
here there are many months that can go on one new tape. So I have been
manually saving months via the DUPTAP command. The problem is in looking 
at
the DSPTAP you only see the same library, repeating w/out an indication of
what month it is. The way to do it would be to save it as say ARJAN, 
ARFEB,
for example, but this means to restore if first and rename. Is there any
better ideas for this?


Try using BRMS. You can copy tapes of different origin/density etc. to
your 3581 tapes. I have done this conversion for several clients and it
works well. If you have quite a few tapes, the minimal cost of BRMS pays
for itself in that time. (Does Save While Active and Domino save while
active really well too....)
