This session will focus on the various approaches customers use to back up and restore data and disks for z/VM and Linux on System z, including the advantages and disadvantages of each method. It will include live demos of one method, including automation.

The presentation will also include considerations for a z/VM SSI cluster.

The demos will use IBM's management software for z/VM and Linux on System z, but the presentation will include requirements for implementing the scenarios with other software.
