I'll describe our DR exercise a bit and get you more information next week when the SMS guy returns, including a sample of all of the SMS code if you wish.

When we go to the DR site we take our backup tapes from a week back (leaving the most current at our offsite home location).

We normally run with DFrmm, which we turn off at the DR site. Other than restore of the system to a state of a week old +, we do not run a lot of tape jobs in DR exercise mode. Any tape jobs that do run use the catalog at that point in time for input. Any output tapes required are mounted using a manual recording system.

Of course, in a real DR mode things would be different. We would have DFrmm up and go through the process of restoring updated data on return to the restored home production environment, not an easy task.

We use the IBM DR centre in Toronto.  How about you ?

Regards

Lorne
