Folks:

Thanks for the input ...

Rob:

Keeping in mind that Virtual Tape, and a Virtual Tape Library, are
nothing alike.> Virtual Tape is done with WRKIMGCLG and a VTL is an
appliance you buy.

I think I knew that, but thanks for clarifying.

I've used virtual tape, to create CD product images, but the image catalog & ifs space were local.

2-There is nothing stopping you from taking the image catalog
entries and FTPing them to another system.

The problem is storage ... if I save the libraries to the local file system, I risk running out of storage (we have plenty, but not enough to duplicate everything).

My object is to be able to do save & restores using a virtual device so it's completely transparent. Ideally so that all my guest partitions can use a single backup location.

Steve & Larry:

I want the backups, and off site copies, to be stored within the company infrastructure (but at a remote location, like one of our data centers)... not dependent (or paying for) a 3rd party.
