We also use FDR Upstream to do the backups of Linux & zVM volumes to Virtual Tape located o z/OS LPAR. The tape management is handled by z/OS with the data moved to z/OS first then to tape. We only have one tape drive defined to VM for zVM Maintenance. There is no management of tapes on this single drive, as all tapes are foreign tapes.
