Have you considered how you will get data from the local VTS to the

You are referring to the z/VM530 documentation, aren't you ?
With or without target parameter in the MOUNT cmd, the targetcat is not
changed under z/VM440 when asking for a scratch in P2P. Did the test with
z/VM530, no change.
This hardware situation is a major regression.

We are running zVM 5.2 and currently still have manual 3490 tape drives.
We may soon be getting an IBM DS8300 (shared with zOS) with TS1120

We have 5 VM systems with separate VMTAPE catalogs.
They currently do not have any native physical tape drives planned for
the VM systems.

Someone there may be getting confused.
The IBM DS8300 is a virtual tape system. It can work standalone as a disk
based VTS or, in conjunction with the robotics side to make it a tape based VTS
system (with a very large disk cache).
Then, there is the IBM TS1120. These are real tape drives

We do DDR's and SPXTAPE every day to virtual (VTS) tapes. Treat them

SPXTAPE's for DR - same as using physical tapes

It's probably me that is confused.
I have been told VM will have virtual tape but no native tape.
They also have used the term 'backend tape'.

Ann,
You shouldn't have any trouble using virtual tape with VM or VM:Tape.
We use it here, primarily for VM:Backup and VM:Spool. VM:Spool uses
SPXTAPE under the covers. I'm sure DDR will work

And yes, there will be a VTS at the remote DR site.
