Question
Since storage is so cheap now,is there a way to back up the as400 to a server or an external hard drive? The tape drive is so unreliable and we have had to replace two tape drives for various reasons. There should be another way. There also should be a way to backup remotely without having to babysit the process.
There are a number of different tape formats offered for the AS/400 - quarter inch tape cartridge, which is actually pretty reliable, 8MM which is smaller but less reliable are two. IBM may have other device options, but the companies I'm familiar with all use tape for backup.
