We have a couple of old AS400s and have to
do backups using the built in software. To make it even worse the one AS400 is
running a very old version (4.5) of OS/400 so can’t even be run
remotely. We have to come on site once a month to do the full system save and
IPL which takes 18-24 hours. L
I gather with 5.1 OS/400 you have remote
options available but this is a legacy system with some Production usage so
they aren’t interested in upgrading. (Luckily we are replacing its only
remaining Production use within the next couple of months so won’t have
to do the backups so frequently or on weekends.) I don’t know of any
way to integrate either version OS version with NBU. We use LXI on the AS400s
to track tapes there and for off site storage.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] OS/400?
I've got an OS/400 iSeries box in one of my offices that I'd like to
integrate, somehow, in to my NetBackup environment. Does anybody out
there have one of these? There is no NetBackup client and it runs its own
custom backup utility.
If you've got one of these and have successfully integrated it into NBU
somehow, I'd appreciate hearing from you. If you've tried and failed, I'd
appreciate hearing that too.
Thanks,
.../Ed
