Yes, DDR or FDR or ADRDSSU can do Disaster Backups of your z/VM, z/VSE or z/OS DASD. There are two catches with this. These Disaster backups do not work well for dynamic data such as SPOOL, Shared File Systems, Databases, Linux filesystems. You must make sure that these dynamic areas are not being updated. I always do separate backups of the SPOOL and SFS data. Database s and Linuxes should be logged off for data consistency. The second catch i s that DDR, FDR & ADRDSSU backups of z/VM data are not for file level restores. Not knowing enough about the VTOC requirements, I am unwilling to try a track level restore of z/OS or z/VSE datasets.
