We use DLMs with DataDomains and that is my understanding too. The intent is for z/OS and/or the DLMs do not do any compression, then letting the DataDomains to do de-duplication when the data gets stored. Our DD's are shared among several different platforms so I don't have a feel for how effective de-duplication is for z/os type of backups.
