I have been considering adding an ADSM NT Server along with my MVS
server because of network considerations. Most of our LAN NT servers are
located in a different building than my MVS server. The distance is
about 15 miles. I was thinking of backing up my 18 (and the number is
increasing) NT LAN servers to an ADSM NT server using a tape drive, then
backing up the ADSM NT server to MVS for disaster recovery puposes.
Would this work? or make sense?
