That's what we already do for z/OS and z/VM/Linux.
We even looked at a process to analyze the VM directory and determine all of
the linux mini-disks and back them up by track/cyl to have individual
datasets to represent individual mini disks but that proved a little cumbersome
to manipulate and you couldn't put the tracks from say cyl 200-650
down on cyl 1200-1650 on a diff volume to recover individual files off of it by
mounting it onto a new guest.

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.
