BRMS, was Stupid Question -- MIDRANGE-L

Don't make the mistake I did and hope that you can get good BRMS education
at COMMON.  The classes they have there are very introductional and you
couldn't get started based on that.

Now, I've also heard that the difference between pre V5R1 and V5R1 BRMS is
astronomical.  I think it was quoted that prior to V5R1 you could take a
week long class, and then you would be educated enough to hire a consultant
to get it done.  With V5R1 you could just about run the Wizard and be done
with it.  I know that some people think that GUI is a four lettered word,
though.

Any real life experiences on the difference?

Steven,
We are using BRMS to backup the Notes Servers on our 2 iSeries 820 systems.
Each system runs 7 servers, using 5 GB memory and 1.2TB DASD. All user mail
files are replicated to other system for failover. While we could shutdown
servers, we chose to use the "Save While Active" feature for Domino.

Once the concepts of BRMS are understood, it is not a real complicated
product.
I definitely recommend the BRMS class before installation if at all
possible.
Using a good BRMS consultant for the initial implementation is also a good
idea, even a must if you cannot attend a class.

Any support we have required has been prompt and courteous . The backup
process
can be scheduled, to run automated. We have a 3494 tape Library with 6
drives,
allowing us to run 6 save jobs concurrently. Restores of Notes data still
needs
a little work on the user interface side, but it isn't tough. The V5R1
version
has GUI, but there are some limitaions in using the GUI for complex
environments, but I am sure they are being addressed soon.

If you ned more information, let us know.
