We are looking for a replacement to our current backup methods and are
looking for recommendations. We are currently running several Linux
virtual machines on two VM LPARs and have been backing these up, as well
as our VM system volumes, via our z/OS system using ADRDSSU. We also use
TSM
The CA products are significantly more expensive, but are substantially more
polished and functional. If you go CA, seriously consider VM:Secure as well
-- it's dramatically better than RACF/VM if you don't need to share a
database with z/OS any more.
Too bad TSM/VM isn't really viable any more.

What you use for backup depends on how you use the system. Do you have
lots of CMS users, or do you just use CMS for VM and Linux
administration? With lots of CMS users, you will need a file level
backup program, such as VM:Backup.
Or if you plan to use any of the newer goodies in VM like the
CA's VMBackup HiDRO does everything except Linux file-level backups. We
use it here to backup CMS minidisks, SFS, and full DASD images. As a
bonus, it has a standalone module for bare metal DR restores. It will
backup and restore whole Linux volumes but as stated before, the Linux
instance better

Hi, Barbara.
I've had good luck with the IBM system management products, with the
exception of the Archive Manager, which I haven't used at all. IBM
Support is also very good, imho.
I'd be more than happy to discuss this with you in more detail off-list,
if you'd like. Happy Holidays.

I thought that being a CMS bigot was the first prerequisite for being on this
list :-)

- Command syntax. Not. :-) I give high marks to VM:Secure
for CMS bigots.
:grump.
