Ginnie, If the backups are only for DR, why not use full volume backups? I believe you indicated that the data was already in a separate Storage Group.
Bob, Hrecover volume commands take waaayyy too long. I have used Hrecover applyincremental fromdate(dd/mm/yyyy) and found it quite efficient. Recovers ran 15 concurrent and finished relatively quickly. I suspect it depends on how much data you're trying to recover.

I certainly hope you do not plan on doing HRECOVER APPLYINCREMENTAL commands during a DR. Takes waaayyyy too long. Do you really have a requirement for incremental backups at DR? Most shops still using tapes use full volume DUMPs for data currency within 24 hours. Any chance to move the Autobackup window away from your batch window? If you would like to call, my number is listed below.
