Mirroring development because we don't want to toss out a week or so worth of work, also allows our guys to fix apps fast (OK, not fast but you get the idea) if it comes to that. It doesn't cost that much more to do it in our environment so it's worth the investment.

Currently, we mirror all production but don't mirror the development DASD we back most via VTS but I am pushing or trying that we back up all DASD. My thoughts about this are the development cycles and releases have a lot of time and money invested if it lost this work, how much is this worth? Anyway, if you are mirroring your development how did you "sell" it to your management? If you're not why not?
