What backup software you use for zOS backups? What we are currently doing is running weekly backups of Linux DASD from zOS using FDR. This works fine but you don't have the capability of doing file level restores, just the whole DASD. Recently we defined a new virtual guest that is acting as an

I have successfully backed up and restored volumes containing z/Linux data using z/OS and DFDSS. And example step would look something like: //BACKUP EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU, // TIME=NOLIMIT,REGION=2048K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //DASD1DD DISP=OLD, // UNIT=SYSALLDA, //

A bit disconcerting that a backup was taken but the restore process isn't known. At the simplest level, you can DDR the DASD for VM/Linux to tape or DASD.. then use DDR to restore it. For Linux - the guest should be logged off if you want to ensure the backup will result in a working system when

We have installed a single zLinux VM on our s390 here. I want to take a backup of this system in case something drastic happens (ie the developers/testers break it). The zOS sys admin has informed me he has taken a copy of the system. However as he is also new to zVM, he is unsure of the restor

Peter, I hope the zipl command will also be enhanced to work with a multipathed LUN ala the multipath-tools package. Or by making it support LVM (which relies on device mapper) will it automatically support multipathed LUN since multipath-tools also relies on device mapper? On my SLES10 SP1, zip
