We managed to make an improvement to ADRDSSU physical dump by employing overlapped IO and longer CCW chains while maintaining full compatibility with ADRDSSU restore. Our improvements reduce backup time per volume about 75% and a small fraction of MSUs to complete the dump. Daily and weekly dumps are a required part of a DR / BC plan and our efforts minimize the operational resources ( time and money ) to fulfill those requirements.
