I have an opportunity presented to me and I would like some assistance in coming up with a solution.
I have a 3 LPAR iSeries with one tape drive. The tape drive allocation rotated between the 3 LPARs for backup purposes. The tape drive is an LTO4. Each partition is running V5R4M5 with networked BRMS. Each day backup is performed on each LPAR. Each tape is saved for 28 days. Monthly backups require 6 tapes for the 3 LPARs. These 6 tapes are stored permanently.
Now for the opportunity, reduce the number of tapes used each in the daily backup. I had thought about creating a library on 2 of the LPARs to contain save files of each library, save each library to a save file and then FTP the contents of the save library to the main LPAR and then backup the main LAR to tape those only using one tape.
The problem with this solution is restores. If I need to restore a file from one of the alternate LPARs, I would have to restore the saved file to a library and then restore the file from the saved file.
I would like to find other solutions to this opportunity using the tools available.
Thanks for all your help
