If you already have a mainframe in house I'd look into FDR. It integrates easliy with DFSMS.The combination of FDR/Upstream and FDR on z/OS are a pretty tough combination to beat if you have z/OS FDR investment. You need both to get file-level dumps.I just find it idiotic that TSM doesn’t have any channel attached tape support on Linux — I mean, look at what’s already paid for in that environment. Buying new tape infrastructure that z/OS can’t even SEE, let alone use.
