Re: SMS compressed VSAM datasets

John, I remember doing something like this with a utility which name escapes me (PDS UTILITY)but it was a company from Farmington Michigan and I had to call their help desk to figure it out. This was 20 years ago. But I remember it was not exactly straight forward how to do. Ed -

Re: SMS compressed VSAM datasets

The newest release of Faver from CA was just tested. It reduced our backup time from 58 minutes to 10 minutes and from 11 tapes to 6 tapes. Unfortunately, it is not totally transparent in that it requires a new DD statement, DSSMSGDD. It is invoking ADRDSSU to do the actual dump of the data. So

I guess my first thought / question would be to identify where the bottleneck for the backups is; disk I/O, tape I/O, or CPU? Presumably disk I/O didn't change a whole lot for reading the data or you would have seen impacts elsewhere too. My guess would be similar for the CPU. However, if e
