Barry,
     The only advise I can give you is, before you move to Jumbo datasets
     be sure you have done any reblocking/repacking you can. Once you have
     Junmbo sets (and they start filling up) you will find that it will
     take longer to do any house keeping on them. In my case we are a 24x7
     shop and scheduling time for this is difficult (but possible).
     BTW, Adager it a very good choice, not only is their product very
     stable (tried and true) but the staff at Adager deserves an A+ when it
     comes to support. It sounds like your headed in the right direction.
     After you implement the Jumbo dataset/s you will need to change your
     backups using the posix file naming in order the store the Jumbo
     extents.

     We are an Amisys client who is getting ready to move to Jumbo
     datasets.  I want to double check that we have everything in
     place before I proceed.  We are on MPE 5.0 PP6(pretty sure but
     will be double checking) and we will soon be purchasing Adager.

     If any one has any suggestions (I am already planning on backing
     up my system twice) I would more than welcome them!

     Thanks,
