Subject: Network backups


Hi all

I have been asked about doing backups over a network connection from an 
AS/400 to another machine; can be an AS/400, but we also have a pSeries 
running TSM on the network as another option. The AS/400's will be running 
V5R2. Bandwidth should not be a problem as we are talking fibre and gigabit 
ethernet (or so I'm told).

I keep hearing that BRMS can do this, but can never locate anything that 
tells me how; all I can find indicates that BRMS network feature allows 
machines in a BRMS network to share policies, tape pools and the like. I 
figure that BRMS involvement in this scenario is most likely as a client to 
a TSM server.

Any and all opinions welcomed plus any experiences and advice :)

Evan Harris
