AMATERSE takes to much time for us ... so we use XMIT . the secret is to perform DFDSS relese to the DFDSS dump datasets before running XMIT on them , this ensure the successful return of the datasets to MAINFRAME . the data isn't legible for Windown although there is some XMIT manager for window but it won't help you to much cause it's DFDSS DUMP those XMIT datasets contain. so they must be restored to the mainframe . one idea we consider is to use Shai Hess product MFnetDisk (it is now free) to make a WINDOWS disk to be shown to the mainframe then to backup those disk . MFnetdisk can also emulate tapes. we didn't use shai hess product cause we want to save the backup proccess "simple" and not involve any other product then those usually supported by the z/OS .
