High IBM maintenance renewals pressure budgets

Your IBM Storage Protect software maintenance costs keep rising. Renewing just to buy migration time wastes capital.

Custom TSM dsm.opt configurations complicate the move

Years of tweaked option files and exclusion lists make a direct lift-and-shift impossible. We map each setting during assessment.

Historical tape data and progressive-forever policies

Long-term archives on TSM tapes and incremental-forever retention don’t translate directly to Veeam. Our engineers build the bridge.

IBM Storage Protect → Veeam Backup & Replication migration — your questions answered

Will my custom dsm.opt configurations be preserved?+

Yes. During the feasibility assessment we inventory all TSM client options and map each one to Veeam Backup jobs, retention rules, and exclusions.

How do you handle progressive incremental-forever policies?+

We convert them to Veeam’s GFS retention with synthetic full backups. Your RPO and RTO stay intact without infinite incremental chains.

What about my historical data stored on tape?+

We can restore tape archives to disk or cloud as part of the migration scope. No data is left behind on legacy media.

What if my IBM support renewal lapses during the move?+

Our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on IBM Storage Protect while you finish the migration. You are not forced to pay a full renewal just to buy time.
