Gary,
You can *ask* about best practice, but in this case no one can say
what's universally best, not to mention what's best for you. I still
think you got some answers and a few examples of what people are
doing.
It depends on what events do you want to protect yourself against, how
quickly do y
In the movie "In Search of the Holy Grail", the knights who say "nee" could
not bear to hear a certain words. One of those words was "it".
"It" appears that best practice may be not to ask about -
(words redacted).
Thanks to all who responded.

Yes. Mirroring does not make any tape backups redundant, but they do
drop to plan B in case of disaster. They remain plan A if you lose a
file or a disk and even then FlashC
not my employer's.

Mirroring does not replace good backup tapes: an accidental ERASE or FORMAT
is mirrored perfectly well to your DR site.
Secondly: if you simply have a two copy mirror, performing DR tests means
you break the mirroring during the test and at that time you no longer have
a mirror.

Mike,
I didn't mean to be smart, sorry if it came out that way. I just wanted to
stress that everything you need to perform a DR, including hardcopy reports,
utility tapes, DR procedure manual, CD's with software manuals, etc. has to
be on a DR site or in the off-site storage, that's all.
Of cour
cumstances.

I've hated it for years. What's "best" for you is not neccesarily "best"
for me.
Similarly, "rules of thumb" that get used without understanding their
underpinnings can handcuff

VM Best Practices
Watching ?A Christmas Story? makes me wond

so you can't leave them unattended! There is a phrase: "Our gun, your

Watching ³A Christmas Story² makes me wonder if you can ³shoot your eye
out² through errors of omission with a VM system.
Can anyone point me to a source for z/VM ³Best Practices² that addresses
low level system recovery (essentially disaster recovery).
Thanks
