VM:Backup from CA if you are interested in the ability to restore individual files from CMS format minidisks or from SFS. They also have a product called Hidro for disk image backups. You might want to check out IBM's products for backup. Make sure that whatever you choose is a product that you can live with as changing at a later date, when you have a large collection of backup tapes, can be a troublesome task.
