And one other thing - if you've got time I would recommend two saves,
which
will save you the trouble of re-installing the old drives to make
another
save if your first set of tapes fails on you.

What type of tape drive are you using, anyway?

Hi group,

 

We are going to be replacing all of our disk drives with larger models
in the next few weeks

on a weekend. (IBM is coming out to do the disk drive switches)

 

We are going to do a Full Backup (Option 21)

before the switch....and obviously will need to do a restore of that
same tape

when all the disk drives get switched.

 

Is there a redbook or website link that would help me prepare in
investigating what

steps are necessary to do the restore this way.

 

I don't want to pay IBM $8,000 to basically watch the tape drive light

as it restores unless it's a painful process to do this type of restore.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim
