Hi,

I have a quick question, if there are any backup applications that will read ADSM tapes?? I have a single server that I want to read and restore data from tapes backed up with ADSM without purchasing Tivoli.

Thanks,

Phil

No. ADSM only backs up the data in 0's and 1's and has no header information on them. If you do not have TSM, the volhist file, and database, there is no way to use the tape to recover data.
