John, To be more precise, does IBM have a product that can backup a FlashCopy target. The answer is yes - DFSMSdss using DUMPCONDITIONING. What I think I am hearing hear is that with the basic FDR product you would use the capability to backup offline volumes, meaning you don't need another

Setting up a 2nd LPAR for backup was something a few shops did back in the early days of Snapshot, TimeFinder and Shadowimage, but DUMPCONDITIONING with FlashCopy was developed to get around the need for a backup LPAR.

Ron, Thanks for all the good information. We only have one Shark box. The Lpar I am setting up will only be used for backups, and will probably be shut down the rest of the week. Actually, I kind of like the idea of nothing shared. All we would need would be a separate pool of 3590 tape
