We're in the process of evaluating ADSM as our server backup and restore
software and, of course, I have quite a few questions.  Just a few of the
questions :

1. Do most ADSM users pipe their data to a mainframe and then manage the
tapes with mainframe tools?

2. How does one go about restoring a server whose hard drive has just
crashed.  I realize there may be many different ways to do this, but I'm
just looking for a general answer.  Are software files and user data files
restored separately or differently.

3. How does ADSM match up to other backup software in terms of speed.  I
also realize this has a lot to do with Network bandwidth, but, again, I'm
looking for a general answer.  Hopefully someone has done some benchmarking.

Any feedback will be very much appreciated.  Thank you!
