Hi! I was wondering if anyone has tried to backup a PC or Mac to an IBM 
mainframe via TCP/IP? If so, how?

I have tried backing up my PC to the IBM mainframe with NFS. The IBM
mainframe involved has Interlink's SNS/TCPaccess TCP/IP software and 
Interlink's SNS/NFS. First, I created an NFS connection from my PC to
the IBM mainframe and tried to XCOPY my PC's hard disk to the designated 
NFS drive (allocated as the mainframe) i.e. XCOPY c: g: /s /e.  It would 
only copy my current directory and nothing more.

Then I tried to FTP my PC's whole hard disk. Is there   way to FTP the whole
hard disk of a PC to the  mainframe? I could only again find a way to FTP  one
directory at a time. I am using FTP's PC/TCP software.           

I would really appreciate anyone's ideas or if anyone is doing this, how. 

Please send all responsess to modic@gumby.dsd.trw.com 

Thanks, Jeanine

IBM sells a (ahem) wonderful product to do this, the Workstation Data Save
Facility.  Allows you to back up DOS, AIX, OS/2, SunOS and Mac clients
to a central VM mainframe.  The follow-on product, DFSMS, supports the same
clients and both VM and MVS mainframes.

Backup and restore are completely automatic; you can retrieve previous versions
of files; both disk and offline media are supported in a storage hierarchy;
etc.   Designed to back up all your PCs and workstations without strain.
