Re: Backing up PC Server data via iSeries BRMS?

We are using IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager running on our iSeries.  It 
backs up lot's of our pc's and pc servers.  Actually, the pc tech's know 
more on how it works than I do.  They seem to really like it.

TSM is one of the deals you get with the Enterprise Edition.  Oh joy for 
me.  I bought durn near all of these before such a package existed.

Backing up PC Server data via iSeries BRMS?






Our PC Server tech crew is having problems with their
Server backups and have asked if I could include their
data within our iSeries BRMS backup.

Our Integration with our PC Servers is through a 1 gig
ethernet Network. (though we are restricted to 100 mb)

Currently, the only way I came up with to do this is
to provide them a Share to an IFS directory, let them
copy their data to it, and include the IFS directory
in our backup. 

I have netserver configured and running, so I can
access data from any PC server in the network. I was
hoping that perhaps I could assign my netserver
directories (i.e. '/qntc/PCServers') as an IFS
directory to our backups, but this did not work, at
least not within BRMS. It came back with an 'Object
not allowed' error.

Does anyone have an idea on how this could be done
cleaner & better than copying data to/from the IFS for
backups? 

Thanks,
Don McIntyre
