The DASD are in a SAN that is also accessed by ZOS. Backups are taken by ZOS using FDR full volume copies on Saturday morning (low usage). When I restore a backup, it will not boot. The backup and the restore have the same byte counts. Linux support at MainLine Systems tells me that he has seen this before at other customers. What is everyone using for Linux under ZVM backups? HELP! My backups are no good!
