I agree that Flashcopy on Ds6800 cannot compare with ESS. I believe that it is partly the small cache available (4Gb) and probably a design feature to make people go for ds8000 if they are serious user of flashcopy.
Why do you Flashcopy twice. Why not do it once once, backup to tape and let TESTLPAR use the copy till next time.

The second is FDRABR with the FCOPY=NOCOPY and these are used for our FDR disaster backups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 plc internal virus protection system. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 plc internal virus protection system. ________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
