The original idea was to find and easy/quick/safe way to clone systems with the 23 packs that are SYSRES , TARGET, DISTRIBUTIO JES/PAGING WebSphere DB2/IMS Cics etc etc etc.
So there are some, thou not too many VSAM files. Paging, SMS, CSI etc. I see now that I would be able quite easily to clone RES and PRD packs to get a system up and running. Then restore other stuff and VSAM after. With the right setup, it should not take too long.
