Hello all, we have an IBM iseries power 720 i5, and it has been setup and running for quite some time. I am newer to the company and working on disaster recovery options, and we only currently have backups to tape on it, and a lot of reports and printouts print directly to the printer, and can't be recovered once they are sent. We had a crappy incident the other day where a printer died mid print of something large, and trying to get it back took quite a lot of effort.
I noticed that it has options in the i system navigator for iscsi, what all can be done with this? I am wanting to do digital backups and send them off site instead of just swapping out tapes, which dont even always get swapped out. Is it possible to use a NAS and connect it with iscsi and backup the system to that, and possibly rework some of our spool files to first...
