Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC)

Like XRC, Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) addresses the problem of unrecoverable data that occurs between the last, safe backup of a primary system to a recovery system and the time when the primary system fails.

PPRC offers several options supporting copy functions both synchronous and asynchronous with the primary volume’s I/O operation.

PPRC supports both System z®-attached (CKD) devices and Open System (fixed block, FB) devices.
