In essence, Mgt has the perspective 'if there is data on a disk, we are
going to back it up at the same time throughout the enterprise each day.
That is at least, their utopian wish. I'm of the opinion, since we back up
all the linux guest w/tivoli, and the VM vols (520*) on Sunday nights its
unnecessary to do more at this pt.
However, I need to find out what alternatives (ie what are other shops
doing) exist and their costs. That, in all likelyhood will sway them to
'sane' solution.
So the short answer to your question Phil (after the long one of course) is
both.

Steve,
Are you looking for daily sync of the z/VM volumes only or of the linux
volumes as well?
