You could also use backupsets. which can be defined in and are then available to
the new system
If you have a test system you could try restoring the database from the old
system, so your test system knows about the backup tapes, then restore to your
new client, and your new client can then
be registered to your other system and can be backed up afresh.
Hmm!!  backupsets are probably simpler especially if you have cross system tape
access.
I have done both the above a while ago, so they do work

Hi Dave,

If both servers are using the same kind of tapes, you could use export node -
import node procedure ! Another possible way doing this would be using server to
server communication, but that implies lots of work just for restoring a node
...
My 2 cents !
Cheers.

Arnaud

Customer asked me if I could recover (restore) the data from an OS/390 ADSM tape
using another ADSM system that does not know anything about this tape????

Is this possible???

I have access to ADSM and TSM on both os/390 2.10 and z/os 1.4
