We have (2) 170 i-Series (AS400) servers. One is running V5R1 and the other V5R2. Both have a 1/4 inch internal tape, and both have a 2729 card to hook up an external tape drive. We currently have (1) 7208-342 ext. 8mm tape drive that we would like to backup both boxes. (Trying to get a second tape drive but not in budget right now)

My question is, is it possible to configure the 400's in some way to allow (1) tape drive from (1) machine to backup another machine? If so, can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance, Darryl
