Dave, I'll be honest. I have not performed an applyincremental in over 10 years. It WAS painful then and it was HRECOVER volume *with* applyincremental.
Maybe the current HSM, tape technology and ESCON/FICON channels have made part of the process less painful. If so, great! Running AUTODUMP is definitely a better idea if the requirement is strictly for DR.

I believe you indicated that the data was already in a separate Storage Group. Bob, Hrecover volume commands take waaayyy too long. I have used Hrecover applyincremental fromdate(dd/mm/yyyy) and found it quite efficient. Recovers ran 15 concurrent and finished relatively quickly. I suspect it depends on how much data you're trying to recover. Snipped.....
