That's essentially our procedure as well. But we are likely a small minority with our own DR sites with VM systems already in them :)

The volume it's on is backed up by a VM:Backup physical (DDR-like) backup. We haven't had any problems restoring the filepool. We are fortunate in that we have a VM system with DFSMS at the DR site. If we had to rebuild the filepool and reinstall the DFSMS config files on the lost production system, we could. Dennis O'Brien "No government deprives its citizens of rights without asserting that its actions are "reasonable" and "necessary" for high-sounding reasons such as "public safety." A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government officials that such right is designed to constrain. -- Herbert W. Titus and William J. Olson, attorneys for GOA
