The server-less backups you refer to still needs fibre to work
and once you have that you could just as well backup strait to tape
the other way to backup would be to use a product like Veritas Netbackup
you can just use the network to backup the systems
If you then need to recover mksysb you just restore it one of the following ways
DVD
Restore mksysb files to the systems with the dvd
then use smitty mkdvd and make sure to chooce the file from the other system
you can then move dvd to the system to recover and then recover it from DVD
Note !! size limit apply in this case
NIM server
Build a nim server to restore the mksysb from
other files can just be restored using Veritas Netbackup
