HiDRO is designed to do full pack backups. So, use that. If the guest is VM, install VM:Backup in the guest for file level backup.

I have a guest OS running on 3380 DASD. All of the DASD is defined with DEDICATE statements to that guest only. I'm now trying to determine how to backup that guest. I have the CA VM:Backup (with HiDRO) product, but I'm told it probably won't work because the guest has no minidisks. We have a VTS here, so all the data will be written to virtual tape using the DFSMS/VM (RMS) and CA's VM:Tape. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Dave Keeton
