Backup solution
Hello,
I'm looking for a backup solution for my system. I have 3 AIX virtual partitions running on a IBM p5 server. Each partition has it's data on a DS4700 storage server.
Also, I have a RedHat running on an IBM p720. This server has the tape hardware.
I would like to know if I can backup from the storage's disk directly to the tape (called: server-less backups).
Thanks
