How we support IBM Storage Protect → Veritas NetBackup after migration

✓Senior platform engineers lead every migration.
✓Fixed-scope project eliminates budget surprises.
✓Preserve legacy systems during the full transition.
✓24/7 US-based support from migration to steady state.
✓40-70% savings on legacy platform support renewals.

Policy complexity

Deep TSM policy domains and active-version limitations lock you into complex retention rules.

Custom recovery sequences

Legacy AdsmPipe scripts or customized bare-metal recovery sequences that risk data loss during cutover.

Specialized hardware dependencies

Direct API Storage engines on specialized hardware can block integration with modern backup software.

IBM Storage Protect → Veritas NetBackup migration — your questions answered

How long does a TSM to NetBackup migration take?+

The project typically runs 4–9 months with 4–6 senior consultants. Budget ranges from $100,000 to $700,000 depending on environment complexity.

What about support coverage during the migration?+

Your IBM Storage Protect stays under VENDOR support as long as your contract is active. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you complete the migration.

Can you handle legacy Tivoli Storage Manager configurations?+

Yes. Our engineers have deep experience with deep TSM policy domains, active-version limitations, AdsmPipe scripts, and direct API Storage engines on specialized hardware. We maintain legacy systems during the translation.

What about physical tape and mainframe Storage?+

We have extensive engineering capabilities in physical tape environments, mainframe Storage attachments, and modern virtualization. Your bare-metal and tape infrastructure is fully understood.
