Hello TSMers,

I have a questions about TSM.  Is TSM able to read data directly from tape
that use TAR or CPIO to backup ?  What I would like to do is:  put a tape
into tape drive and the tape contain data that I use tar or cpio.  TSM will
be able to read the data and put these data into storage pool directly.  I
think it can't be done and one has to restore it to temp. directory and
backup using TSM, right ?

It is because TAR & CPIO was being used for backup before TSM but I want
those data back and put it in TSM.

Thanks & Regards
William
