We use DSS for full-volume backups of our VM-formatted volumes. We use the DUMP TRACKS command with the CPVOLUME and ADMINISTRATOR keywords. Our zLinux systems run as VM guests, but the DSS Storage Admin manual shows examples of using DSS to back up volumes for zLinux partitions. This is an example of the syntax we use to back up a mod-3 VM volume: DUMP TRACKS(0,0,3338,14) - INDDNAME(DISK1) - OUTDDNAME(TAPE1 ) - ADMINISTRATOR - CPVOLUME - COMPRESS - OPTIMIZE(4) - READIOPACING(000)
