Hello!
Hello!

One of my customers came to me with a different approach (for us) to doing 
backups.  He wants to use the Veritas Backup Exec product to do backups, and 
then use an interface they have to move the backups to ADSM.  As I understand 
it, they are using an API, and then using ADSM as the backstore, simulating a 
(very big) DLT drive.

The early research that I have done is not very enriching.  A search of the TSM 
web site found nothing.  The Veritas Support site discussed the interface, but 
only mentioned support for ADSM through V3.1.  No Mention of TSM at all.  We 
are contacting the vendor for more information.

In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with 
the product?  Are you using the Backup Exec product with any release of *SM?  
What are your experiences?
