The volume initialized as Linux volume does not have a volser. How does DFSMSdss recognize the volume for dumping? Thanks.

With VSE you can use - FASTCOPY and with VM you can use - DDR Without using above systems you have also the following possibilities: - TSM - tools like AMANDA, HOSTDUMP, ... - tar, cpio, nfs, scp, ... to tape or another Linux using a little script and the cron daemon Volker
