I am looking to see how other shops are currently doing Backups for DR and
OR.  I think this will be valuable for the archives.

Currently I have the following processes in Place.  Any suggestions or
guidelines for this analysis will be appreciated.

2 EMC VMAX arrays (could be Hitachi or IBM).  2 Geographically dispersed
Data Centers (one VMAX in each)

So in my hypothetical setup I have
     Prod VMAX is Snapping my Prod data within the VMAX
     Prod VMAX is Replicating to the Secondary (Dev and Text) VMAX (SRDF/A)
     My Secondary VMAX (Dev and Test) is Snapping the Replicated data
     I have weekly backups to Tape
     I have DFHSM doing backups/ML2 tapes are shipped to secondary site.


So do I have overkill?  .


As usual, we should stat from the basics:
- budget constraints
- business needs
- RTO, RPO
- uwanted events: disaster, HW failure, SW error, human mistake, other (human/terrorist attack, whatever)
- coincidence of events, disaster diameter (area affected)
- staffing
- other systems (there are no mainframe-only shops nowadays)

IMHO in case of 2 datacenters the reasonable scenario should look like:
- 2 VMAXes with SRDF/S or /A (matter of distance, performance needs and disaster diameter) - 2 tape systems, one per datacenter, all tapes duplicated (offline copy for human and SW errors, number of copies/generations depends)
