In order to be able to do a backup of any offline FBA or CPK volume including those that are created as a result of using any of the various vendor's replication technologies requires the FDRINSTANT add-on to enhance basic FDR or ABR. For all intents and purposes, the backup from the offline volume will appear as if you've performed the backup of the volume and datasets from the online volume. Certainly makes recovery extremely straight forward. Furthermore, FDRINSTANT provides the ability to access the internal high-speed replication technologies within the vendors' storage systems for copying datasets within the same storage subsystem without having to perform I/O to and from the mainframe. Ron, contact me off-list if you want some further info.
