It has come to my attention now that most of our users are enrolled in the SFS that VMBACKUP/E 1.0 only half supports the SFS. I say half because I have learned the hard way that you can not restore files from a tape that originally came from the SFS unless a catalog is available. This is mentioned in the Sys Prog Ref for VMBACKUP but not in the section that I read when consulting the manual for information about backing up the SFS. I want to save someone else the shock that comes with this knowledge. I consider myself extremely lucky that I had another source for the data which I can not read from the backup tapes I created but you might not be so lucky. BTW, Systems Center say the next release, which is almost ready for beta test, will correct this deficiency.
