2195.0. "SLS >> ABS what and how??" by MUNICH::REIN (How come holes in SWISS CHEESE??) Thu Feb 13 1997 05:45

    Hallo engineers,
    
    The environemt at a customerside is changeing, there is more
    UNIX and more NT machines, which he wanted to backed up to a central
    TL820.
    
    So he is asking about NT and UNIX Clients for SLS.
    
    As I have never heard about it, I told him, that obviously he
    could use ABS for backup all his stuff!
    
    In the  moment he is running SLS 2.7.
    
    Most of his sorrow is, that he is loosing his SLS archive. I told him,
    that he will not!
    
    He told us, that he is thinking about to buy a product called SESAM,
    which can handle all the same way like SLS does and has several clients
    for NT UNIX etc.
    
    The only goody I gave him that he doesnt have to buy a new license,
    when he goes to ABS.
    
    In earlier days I was told, that there will be some migration tools,
    helping the customer to move from SLS to ABS.
    
    Is there a description available, where we can read, what to do in that
    case.? What are the future plans ?
    
    kind regards
    
    Volker

ABS Engineering is looking at what migration tools they should have in place
for the next vesion of ABS, V2.2 maybe???...

\Kim Norby is solicity information on this subject as well as what else ABS
\will need to reach "parity" with SLS.  You can contact her at COOKIE::HELLWIG
\to provide your input.

You should pose this question in the ARCHIVE_BACKUP conference.
