Currently our TSM server is on MVS OS/390 v 2.10, and we backup around 50 clients of various platforms. I personally prefer having TSM on the mainframe, while other servers seem to crash around me everyday, the mainframe is only platform in our company that has NEVER CRASHED. But as the clients servers disk storage keeps on getting larger and larger, TSM does use extensive resources(tapes, DASD) etc. Management is considering different storage solutions before investing more resources in our current solution. A vendor from Beta Systems was here yesterday pushing a product called Tantia Harbor Backup. Evidently it makes optimal use of storage media by incorporating such features as an automatic file redundancy checker (AFRC), automatic data classification, and periodic backup consolidations to re-organize data to speed restore and free up storage space. It is currently used on mainframes although they have just released a server version for NT's. As I have never heard anything about this product before I was wondering if anyone else on this list has. Thank you in advance.
