Well I had the opposite experience. At a shop I was at, we switched from DFDSS to FDRABR and was up 2 hours faster. So as the gentleman said in a later post, it all depends on what you are used to and the techniques you use to get there.

At my last shop I switched from FDR to DFDSS and the DR Manager was surprised when we were ready to IPL an hour faster than previously. -----Original Message----- From: Gibney, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 5:19 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: FDR/ABR in large shops We do both, but we're not large. We'd been using FDR for ages before SMS was really anything. SMS and DFHSM were a big "reduce human dasd management" idea in the early 90's and we started and finished moving application data to SMS with DFHSM managing them. We still, and I'd really need to be convinced to do otherwise, use FDR for system backup and recovery. Among other reasons, it's still faster and the faster I can get a base system up in a DR situation, the sooner I'll be in a parallel restore Adabas and restore SMS managed dasd path. Back in the SLED days, we had an HDA failure and out catalogs were on SMS/HSM managed disk. Left a very bad task and I remedied the catalog location forthwith.
