At our shop we primarily use z/OS for production. We have complete DR routine software and we regularly have DR drills at least 4 times a year. With that in mind I found it easier to backup our VM using what is already in place for z/OS, namely varying the VM DASD online to our z/OS production system then using DFDSS in JCL. This will get you full volume backups for the VM LPAR. What it lacks in granularity it makes up for in complete DR with little hassle.
Except that then you're backing up dirty Linux FS volumes. If you're going to take volume snapshots of Linux guests you need to shut them down cleanly first.
