Hi Everyone, Has anybody ever tried this - is it a supported way of doing things? We just created a backupset on 3590 on OS/390 and restored the clients data on AIX without any problems. I know the backupset becomes a portable medium and as long as the drive is compatible on both systems it should work, BUT what about EBCDIC to ASCII conversion - where does this take place in the scenario we tested? We have done the same with a WinNT TSM server that created the backupset and restored on the AIX client - but then there is no EBCDIC in the picture. The restore was done without a server in the picture - just the TSM AIX client restoring from locally attached 3590.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Christo ______________________________________________ "The information contained in this communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.
