RE: Copy a Save Tape?

Ok, I will go research how to do this.  I'm currently at 48% usage on my
DASD. So hopefully I can do this.

The reason I want to do this is we are going to do a DR test at our offsite
recovery facility.  When we do it, we will be sending our backup tapes.  My
Director of IT doesn't trust sending our original tapes via UPS to the
facility.  So he wants me to make copies of them.

With our network servers they just do some sort of image copy of their tapes
but that's how they have their backups set up.

I'm just concerned since this is our busy season as to what kind of
resources this is going to take on our system.  But I'll go do some homework
& find out.

Thanks!

Deb

V5R4 allows you to dup to virtual tape.
