FATSCOPY Supports
IBM's new 3592 Tape Drives with a Physical Tape Capacity of 300
GB (up to 900GB with 3:1 compression)
FATSCOPY will allow you to dramatically reduce the size of your
existing Tape Library! |
The
Media Tool
Erase
Tapes: Erase all data on a tape before it is
discarded.
Certify Tapes:
Insure that new and existing tapes do not have errors that would cause
costly runs.
The
Data Tool
Common tasks
done daily with FATAR.
Mapping a Tape:
Verify the characteristics of a tape, what files are on tape, how many,
names, DCB characteristics,
blocksizes, creation and expiration dates, compression statistics and
more...

Copying
a Tape:
FATAR can make an exact
bit for bit image copy of an input tape, or can do logical copies,
allowing you to rename, reblock, and selectively copy files from the input
tape.
Error Recovery:
FATAR extensive error
recovery allows you to read (and copy) tapes that have had tape errors,
avoiding significant rerun time.
Convert and Stack with FATSCOPY
Convert and Stack:
FATSCOPY can convert tape datasets from one media type
to another. For example, you could convert 100 3480 tapes to an IBM 3590
Magstar tape or an IBM 3592 tape cartridge and all of the files on the
3480s will be stacked on the 3590 or 3592 and recataloged, transparent
to the using application.
FATSCOPY supports CA-1 and IBM's RMM tape management systems.
VTS Support:
Tape files can be moved to a VTS (Virtual Tape Server)
or from a VTS to real tape. FATSCOPY supports VTS, VSM, CopyCross and
CA-VTAPE.
FATSCOPY—Media Conversion Example:
All of the tape datasets (CATDSN=**)
that are currently cataloged to the 3490E tape device type will be copied
and stacked onto StorageTek 9840 cartridges. Since this is a migration,
MULTIFILE=YES has been coded to allow tapes already containing multiple
files to be copied. Defaults have been taken to ensure that the copied
files are recataloged to the output tape and the input files are returned
to scratch status.
FATSCOPY—Tape
Stacking Example:
This example shows
tape datasets belonging to a single application being selected by FATSCOPY.
In this particular case, we are looking for all datasets that have a five-character
high-level qualifier, of which the first four characters are 'APPL' and
the fifth character is any single valid alphanumeric or national character.
The datasets can then have any second level, but the third level must
be 'SAVE'. There can then be any number of additional levels in the name.
Only datasets matching the name mask, and that were created between 2000.001
and 2000.100, will be selected for the stacking process. They will be
copied and stacked onto an IBM 3590 cartridge. The copied files will be
recataloged to the output tape, and the input tapes will be returned to
scratch status.
