Hi, James.
There are certainly ways of doing VM minidisk backups (and, at no extra charge, restores as well....), using the standard set of tools that come with z/VM.
Could you be a little more specific when you say you want to do a "DFDSS style backup", for those of us not completely familiar with that product?

I am currently doing volume backups of CDL layout volumes via z/OS and DFDSS. Some volumes are actually 4 minidisks within VM, and I don't have mini-disk level backup granularity with the CDL method. Is there an equivalent to DFDSS within VM or does this have to be purchased ala-carte? I would very much like to just do the equivalent of VM mini-disk backups using a DFDSS style backup from within VM but we're neophytes in the VM realm, so I don't really know what is possible and what is not.
If anyone has suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
Thanks
