The MACLIB is updated via PDF dialog table services, driven by a number of older REXX EXECs. It contains hundreds of members, which can be updated at any time, and new members are added every day. I'm unsure if ISPF/PDF locks a member, or a table row, each time it's updated. Nevertheless,

Copying tapes is fraught with enough potential issues (many illuminated here) that we are not going to consider it... -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Wheeler Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 6:39 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU

Same here - we are operating on the scenario of our primary data center being destroyed and not coming back. If the offsite copy is a few hours older than the onsite, it's not a show-stopper. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of

That would be by far the easiest way, but VM:Backup is not able to handle copied tapes at a BRP site - it's catalog wouldn't match. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 1:38 PM To:

What you say is so true. However, even a 50% increase in time may not be a show-stopper for our shop, as opposed to running two complete backup jobs. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008

This concept was considered, but is really last on the list - it's a bit of a mine field. Running two VM:Backup service machines has potential, though, instead of running two backups serially on the same machine. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL

That's another option I'll add to the list. The remote site is disaster-recovery only - it doesn't necessarily have to be pretty right off the bat. I'll have to figure out how it knows which tapes to call for where - it'll be a few months before we start real testing. -Original
