Hi Everyone,

Has anybody ever tried this - is it a supported way of doing
things?
We just created a backupset on 3590 on OS/390 and restored
the clients data on AIX without any problems.
I know the backupset becomes a portable medium and as long
as the drive is compatible on both systems it should work,
BUT what about EBCDIC to ASCII conversion - where does this
take place in the scenario we tested?
We have done the same with a WinNT TSM server that created
the backupset and restored on the AIX client - but then there
is no EBCDIC in the picture.
The restore was done without a server in the picture - just
the TSM AIX client restoring from locally attached 3590.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Christo
