If you are using Arcserv only for backup/recovery, there is no need to migrate
anything. The first incremental of the client under ADSM will be a complete
backup. After that, there is really no need to run Arcserv backups for that
client again. You
could keep the Arcserv system in place for a short time, just in case...

If you are using it for long term archival, then you are probably going to have
to restore it using Arcserv and then rearchive it with ADSM.

 Subject: ARCServe Migration to ADSM








We have some ARCServe customers considering investing
in ADSM.  The concern is that they don't want to
maintain 2 backup systems and also don't want to
migrate the current (ARCServe) data to the ADSM
format. Then the question is that can ADSM restore
ARCServe backup/archeive) data which I don't think
ADSM could do that.  Would you please give me the
suggestion on how could we address this concern?
