Maybe only restore the "Long Term Archive Data" to then be backed up to the new 
TSM environment, then otherwise let the VNB images expire.  The only downside 
is having to have the VNB environment hang around a while.  This idea was the 
suggested "Conversion" from IBM and Veritas CE's

      I would assume restore them all to a filesystem and then back them up
using TSM?.. This is sort of a hack way of doing it but I don't see why it
wouldn't work just restore one of each version starting with the oldest
then backup each one deleting them one at a time in the same mount point
this way. TSM will have the same type of versioning setup that VNB
did?...(well sort of). Just a thought. If anyone else has a better
supported method I'd be interested as well. thanks!.

Has anyone migrated a Veritas environment to TSM?

Is there a way to move data stored on Veritas managed tapes to tapes
managed
by TSM?
