You may, if the source changed after the last backup. -teD Original Message From: van der Grijn, Bart (B) Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 11:24 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Reply To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List Subject: Re: Mirror/back up your Development DASD
Andy, we mirror our production to a recovery site using Global Mirror. We do back up the NonProd data and send it offsite. The thought is that we do want to be able to recover the other lifecycles at some point but don't have the RTO/RPO requirements that drive a mirror solution.

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?
