Bob,

If you have PPRC available (and configure it) then z/OS should be able to 
access the secondary (mirrored) z/VSE volume(s) in read-only mode. Please note 
there are certain data set type restrictions. See here for reference (z/OS 3.1 
link, subject to change):

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=features-defining-whether-io-device-is-read-only
