I was under the impression that the TSM database MUST be backed up to
tape.  Is this true?

Also, does anyone know of tape emulator software only? (without having
to purchase a new disk array with that feature)  We are running TSM
5.1.5 on Red Hat Linux 2.4.19.

couldn't see any benefit to having tape emulation for TSM storage so opted
to just use the ATA storage.
