VDisaster Recovery, Backup & Restore for z/VM & Linux - John Hall, Safe Software The emergence of Linux/390 on z/VM has brought new interest to z/VM. One of the first tools you need when deploying Linux on the mainframe is a reliable disaster recovery and backup/restore solution. Historically, z/VM installations have used expensive vendor solutions or complicated and difficult to maintain DDR implementations. This session covers why you need to have a DR plan, how to implement DR and backup/restore with DDR, and an overview of Safe Software's newest product: SafeDR, a cost effective, turnkey z/VM disaster recovery and backup/restore solution. z/VM Platform Update - Reed Mullen, IBM z/VM Version 5.1 is now available and "open for business". This session will highlight z/VM V5.1 function announced on April 7, 2004 and added to the product since then. A more detailed perspective of future z/VM enhancements will be offered along with the latest news regarding zSeries server enhancements. Looking forward to seeing you all at Lombardo's for NEUVM's Autumn Meeting!
