To build and add on to what Rob started-- If you use or can use Tivoli Storage Manager on the system(s) that connect to the tape drive, you can use the BRMS with the "BRMS application client to TSM" to backup the i5 across the wire (LAN) to that drive. Note that this will only backup user data, not system objects. So, a real system attached tape drive or the DVD-RAM (if you have one) to save system objects on an occasional basis, and the BRMS/TSM stuff to save data nightly. I checked into this once, but have never implemented it for anyone. Details about "BRMS application client to TSM", (what a name, eh!) are here: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/service/brms/adsmclnt.html ==================================== Tom Kreimer Information Alternatives Rob says.... ..."Will they let you use your own tapes for that tape unit or are they expecting you to use some custom backup software, like a Tivoli solution? If so, does that solution have a Client for the i5? I don't think Tivoli does."... Rob Berendt
