Um....they both use tapes? That's about where it stops....
SysBack/6000 uses a shell wrapper to the backupvg command, just like mksysb does. It allows you to build bootable, installable, and recoverable system images of the root volume group, and additional volume groups as you have tape space. Very nice, but a true shotgun approach. TSM only backs up what changes (if you use incrementals), and is not easily a bare-metal-restore solution. But, it is faster, and being centralized, more readily managed. That's the basics of it -- more details if you wanna hear them from a former sales engineer...*oh, to forget my sordid past* -drs David Stabler, CATE/AIX, CNCE Senior Systems Analyst >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/10/02 11:03AM >>> For TSM AIX only. I just recently saw the IBM web site on AIX SysBack System Backup and Recovery program. Can someone who either knows both, or uses both of them, point out the differences/similarities between AIX SysBack and AIX TSM?? TIA.
