I think you are asking how to backup the VM system. Use DDR to back up all DASD to tape, be sure to do all cylinders (0-END) and you should shutdown your Linux guests and all non-essential services while backing up to ensure data integrity.
For example, to backup real device A00: CP ATTACH A00 * (Or link to fullpack minidisk, can be R/O) CP ATTACH xxx * 181 (where XXX is a real tape drive) DDR SYS CONS IN A00 DASD SCRATCH OUT 181 TAPE (COMPACT DUMP ALL Repeat for each DASD device you use. That ought to do it. You should also have a stand alone DDR tape handy in case you need it. Michael Coffin, VM Systems Programmer Internal Revenue Service - Room 6527 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
