The secret is to be sure to set the BLKSIZE correctly and to use the QUOTE STRU R. Are you going z/OS to z/OS directly? Or via an intermediate, non z/OS, system? I have successfully done the following, using Windows as an intermediate node. On Windows @ mysite ftp prodmainframe userid password bin quote stru r get adrdssu.file --- Transport file via USB hard drive to a Windows PC at the DR site. On Windows @ DR ftp drmainframe userid password bin quote site recfm=u blksize=32000 unit=tape quote stru r put adrdssu.file ---- Note that the BLKSIZE must be correct. We deliberately use 32000 for old times sake (I.e. "We've always done it that way!") Make sure that you use the proper one for your tapes. Futher note - I have not actually done an entire disk backup. What we actually did was a ADRDSSU logical dump of the missing files (to a disk file, not tape) and ftp'ed that. z/OS disk file to Windows USB drive to z/OS disk file. If you are going z/OS to z/OS, I think there is a better way, but I don't remember what it was. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
