I'm new to z/VM and would like to use this backup method under z/OS as well. However, my z/VM volumes start with 510xxx as suggested in the z/VM install guide. Any ideas on how to back up these volumes?

At this time I don't have access to any DASD to try what you're doing, but the following using tape works for me: //SYSIN DD * DUMP TRKS(0,0,3338,14) - INDDNAME(DISKIN) - OUTDDNAME(TAPEOUT) - CPVOL - ADMIN //SYSIN DD * RESTORE TRACKS(0,0,3338,14) - INDDNAME(TAPEIN) - OUTDDNAME(DISKOUT) - PURGE - CPVOL - ADMIN Regards, Kevin * This message was scanned by the corporate mail server for viruses and objectionable content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
