To Tony Field,

        We have had ADSM for over two years at our shop and are very satisfied
with its performance.  We run a IBM VM shop backing up a network
totalling over 500 gb.  Our backups take approximately 9 hours to
complete with a fair amount of free time inbetween.   We are currently
in the process of converting to an MVS system and anticipate no problems
under the new operating system.  If you wish more information on how our
shop is set up email me at Dave_Larimer AT kne DOT com, I will be happy to give
you more details.
