You cannot work at record level with neither DB2 (table/index space) datasets, not zFS. Reason: those datasets are LINEAR. LDS does not contain records.
However using IDCAMS against DB2 LDSes is pefrectly safe AFAIK.

While it, and DB2 Linear datasets may look VSAM-ish, there are limitations. If you use IDCAMS you may need to work at the CI level, not the record level.

Is there any reason that IDCAMS EXPORT TEMPORARY will not work to

about CA's FAVER VSAM backup tool?

The DFS zFS admin guide says to use DFDSSdss since it automatically
quiesces the zFS aggregate.  But if it is unmounted, the quiesce is not
an issue.    There is a Redbook (z/OS  Distributed File Service zSeries
File System Implementation - SG24-6580-01) that talks about other
options including IDCAMS REPRO or creating a clone as a backup
file system.
