Dan, you might also want to take a hard look at FDRDRP. When we
installed and implemented it, our restore time at DR went from 3 hours
to under 1 hour. Depending on your particular mix of full volumes and
incrementals, you MIGHT experience similar benefits. YMMV.

Thank you for your input. We currently do full volume weekly backups and
us that as our primary recovery point. We stack 15 volumes per tape and
wind up with around 60 restores to run at DR. I'm going to push the
number up toward 20 to reduce tape counts, which yields a 25% reduction
in the long run. Our last DR we recovered all our DASD in about 5 hours,
which isn't too bad. We are looking at higher speed channels and DASD so
our backup time may reduce as well. Our DR manager would like to see us
get to nightly full backups, but that is an awfully tight window even
with no problmes at all.
We'll be talking to IDP next week for some questions from here.
