I have three flavors of Linux/390 (Debian, Tao, and Gentoo) on 3390 DASD using the CDL 
format.   With the Linux partition (no z/VM) down I used FDR full volume dumps to 
backup the disks.  Below is the JCL that I used,

//DUMP1 EXEC PGM=FDR                                          
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                        
//SYSPRIN1 DD SYSOUT=*                                        
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                        
//SYSMAP DD SYSOUT=*                                          
//DISK1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=DEBROT                 
//TAPE1 DD DSN=BHSRP.DEBROT.DT070604,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),    
//  UNIT=TAPE,VOL=(,,,255),LABEL=RETPD=30                     
//SYSIN DD *                                                  
  DUMP     TYPE=FDR,COMPRESS=ALL

Here is a screen shot of ISPF option 3.4 of volume DEBROT (Debian/390 Root)

Hi all...  For those of you with your penguins in LPARs....

Are you able to back up your Linux volumes (with Linux down) from MVS?  If
so, is anyone using FDR, and is it working?  And if so (again), could you
share the JCL and control statements you're using?

Or from the flip side, has anyone else tried an FDR backup and had it abend
(on a CDL formatted volume) saying it's a bad VTOC?

Thanks,
Lee
