Re: NFS and remote image catalogs/saves ?

We save to local virtual tape image catalogs. Then we ftp them to another
system. Then we dupe them to tape. And actually BRMS keeps track of
which physical tape has a save of which particular object on the source
system.
We've not tried NFS. Actually I'm pretty new at NFS. I am using it now
on a few lpars and it gets the job done.

The question becomes, does it slow down the actual save? If so, is it
significant enough to justify more local disk to speed up the process? We
bring up the services denied during the actual save, after the save is
done but before we start ftping the data over. So our outage window does
not include the transfer time.

Has anyone did much with this, is it to slow. I am looking to use this
for
daily saves. I know that 6.1.1 is a requirement on both sides.
