Does anyone know if the Win NT/2000 client can restore from a backup
set that was created on a 3590 tape or an 8mm tape? The TSM server platform
is AIX.
I know that I can install the drivers for 3590 tape drives on Win NT,
but I don't know if the TSM NT Client can use a 3590 backup set.
The TSM 3.7 Technical Guides states "At this time, all backup-archive
clients support the restoration of a backup set through a file device
class. Only AIX can support the mounting of tape volume to restore a
backup set with 8mm devices."
The Tivoli web site
(http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/storage_mgr/storage_mgr_concepts.html)
,
however, states that "In addition, for the Windows 2000, Windows NT,
AIX, Sun Solaris (32-bit) and HP-UX backup-archive clients, the backup
sets can be copied to tape devices."
The question is WHICH tape devices? Can anyone point me to where I can
find the "official" answer to this question?
Thanks!
