Re: BRMS -- DOMINO400

Bob,

It's all done through a BRMS control group. Here is a brief explanation of
what it does

1. Run the maintenance and generate the report
2. Use HTMSPLF (a freeware utility) to copy the spool file into a very
friendly readable HTML format on the IFS
3. Copy the IFS file into a DLO
4. Email the DLO to XXX@yahoo.com

Following is the example control group. If you have any other questions let
me know.

We have been using BRMS for over a year with 2 820s. We use cluster
replication for
many of our users. We have 7 servers on each system. Backup is to 3590
drives in 3494.
We back up around 2 TB/ night. We also save everything else once a month.

Matt - How do you send your recovery report offsite. Currently, we print
and send off
site with our tapes.
