Re: backing up iSeries to pc network question/discussion

Hi Tim

In addition to asking for existing code or setup info, you could google 
for "virtual tape site:ibm.com" and should get good information - you 
probably need to have the understanding from IBM, as well as how people 
have used it, to safely use techniques like this.

Good luck
