Search the logs; I've been ranting about the windows "HSM" product for years. I think it's a miserable product. There are folks on here who have used it and found it appropriate for their needs, but those needs are emphatically distinct from what we of TSM HSM experience think of as HSM applications. In a nutshell, the windows HSM product makes no use whatsoever of the TSM HSM concepts. It makes archives. Archives, like any other archives, stick around for RETVER days. When you write a file, the file gets backed up. When you migrate a file, the stub gets backed up. Note, you now have -no- active version of the full file. When you retrieve a file, the file gets backed up again. When you re-migrate a file, the file gets re-archived, and the stub gets backed up again. - Allen S. Rout
