Re: EMC DLM Data Domain and z/OS

Lizette, One of the main selling points of the DataDomain is the Global Compression feature (data deduplication). This works well for multiple backups but not for archived data which ML2 data effectively is, so in your case using a DataDomain at the backend would be a very expensive option.
