I do a mksysb to tape twice a month. Daily there is backup run to tape of a datavg that is on the system. I have a Windows server that acts as a BDR fro the windows and linux servers. I do an image back up of the servers. At night these backups are sent offsite. Dealing with tapes is annoying compared to everything else. I would like to find a way to just backup the datavg nightly. Ideally sending it to a mount on the linux server that gets backed up and sent offsite.
