Short answer: doable, but not easy. Slightly longer answer: there is simply too much data, the bandwidth too small, and the windows too small to not have some sort of detailed plan.
One example plan: the last step in the batch process is to simply FTP the updated files to the remote site. MVS to MVS compressed FTP's are pretty efficient (TYPE E, MODE C). Onlines are much more complicated as you need a Point of Consistency (POC). Flash copy and XPPRC could be tools. Or ADRDSU to disk, then FTP that. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maciej K. Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: A newbie question... Hello list, With the recent discussion (regarding "easy" questions) in mind, hopefully this type of question will be forgiven. I would like to know your experience/opinions on how to set up an environment for backing up your DASD storage (i.e. syncing data between two seperate DASD arrays) over an IP network - be it on- line or during specified time windows. Is it possible at all ? Any other means (dedicated fiber etc.) are, unfortunately, currently excluded. Presume there is a spare mainframe (and a spare DASD storage) and the only access to it is over IP. I would greatly appreciate if you shared your experience or at the very least directed me to the right solution. Maciek, Poland -- Włochy i Paryż - przewodniki turystyczne do wyboru.
