Yep do it all the time. The Virtual Tape should present itself as either a
supported tape device (usually LTO) or a 3480 tape library. BRMS does not
know it's not really tape that way.

If it presents as a 3480 Tape library then you can do bare metal or partial
restores from it.

I use (and represent) SPHiNX from ETI_SPHiNX and it does those things.
There are several other vendors out there that are similar, including of
course IBM.

Subject: Backup to DISK using BRMS

Is anyone using a "tapeless" backup process that FULLY integrates with BRMS?

In other words, one that just "presents" a virtual tape library to the
system and allows BRMS to manage everything, such as parallel BU, tape
volume initialization, D-IPL capability etc...
