Re: Virtual Tape and IFS/Image Catalog Full Save (21)

IBM's iSeries VTL works great if you have enough disk arms and put the
VTL into a separate ASP. If you are running just enough arms for your
work load and try to save to a VTL in the same ASP, well LTO tape will
outperform it.

Rob, have you ever did one of these this way?? And no not the duptap
part.

Sure, and if the thought of booting from virtual tape to do a full
system restore sounds insurmountable then you can do a DUPTAP to

physical media.

Preferably before you need the restore. :-)
