Yes, you are right, but in many cases it should be enough
to unmount or re-mount the partition read-only.
DFSMSdss performs a full volume/partition backup, which
is normally used for disaster recovery. To backup your
day-to-day work you need of course an additional logical
backup solution.

This is only good when the Linux image is shutdown. When you
want to backup a running Linux image I think you should use
a logical file level backup instead, which IMHO means running
the backup in Linux itself (but maybe deposit the data on MVS).
For restore you would first need to get a working Linux image
back, and then do the logical restore. Hence the need for two
backup solutions ?
