As soon as I clear the basement to put in an STK silo...
But seriously, planning it myself, with an AIX/TSM server on an old RS6K box I acquired.
Plan to setup a disk pool for periodic backups, then weekly or so manual backup of the disk pool to a 4mm or 8mm tapedrive. Depends on what I can get my hands on. An auto-library would be nice, but I guess I can do without it.
Nice to hear from you again! You pulled me from many fires
Yah, I was thinking of something like that too, but for my copy pool, I would just disk too, but on a weekly basis, whatever volume changed (find /adsm_copy/vols -ctime 7) will be emailed to me as an attached. (gmail)
contact me for a STK 9730 Tape Library that I have to give up with 2 DLT 7000 Drives. Only one drive works and the other drive can be replaced with low cost. Can hold up to 4 drives. It has a barcode reader. Send me a note for pictures and price (I promise, super low).
Hi I am actually running a tsm server on my desktop with 1 client. Backup media is a nas disk 250GB. Running wireless.
Backing up the tsmdb as well.
Will not help if a major disaster strikes but will help against theft(maybe) and user misstakes
Just remember to use file device class for nas.

I had a disk crash!
The data was still readable but the boot sector will not hold any boot information. Very strange. I can reinstall the os, I can read the files from both partitions but it will not boot.
After salvaging some last minute files I repartitioned and did a NTFS format (not quick). The same problem is still there. Downloaded the SEATOOL from seagate. The tests confirmed that the drive was broken and could not hold metadata.
I got a replacement drive (uppgraded to SATA).
Then I restored the OS with CBMR and the data with TSM!
It works.
Offiste volume handling, not yet . Simpleshare NAS devices has the ability to attach external USB drives (My ipod mini) so it is possible
