isn't that part of what ADSM/TSM is suppose to do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Tivoli_Storage_Manager and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Tivoli_Storage_Manager#Data_Sources Other data injectors include policy-based hierarchical storage management (HSM) components for AIX, Linux and Windows. These allow migration of data from production disk into one or more of the TSM storage hierarchies while maintaining transparent access to that data by the use of DMAPI or NTFS reparse points. ... snip ... I had originally done the implementation in the late 70s for internal datacenters as CMSBACK ... some old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#cmsback and posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#backup it went thru a number of internal releases before being enhanced for supporting distributed computing (workstations, unix PCs, etc) and released to customers as workstation data save (WDSF). It was then picked up by AdStar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adstar becoming ADSM, i.e. IBM was being re-orged into the 13 baby blues in preparation for breaking up the company, the disk division was one of the business units that was furthest along. I've frequently mentioned that the disk division in the late 80s had been claiming that the communication group was going to be responsible for the demise of the disk division ... becuase of it constantly vetoing disk division advanced support for real distributed computing (communicatio group trying to preserve the communication dumb termainal paradigm and install base) ... some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#terminal trivia: we did some distributed computing & open system projects with the adstar VP of software, who also funded the original project supporting POSIX on MVS. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idan400/cpn2co70.htm but were almost constantly at war with the communication group. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
