Linux-z/OS DFSMShsm dump or restore how-to

This topic describes how to back up your Linux partitions and volumes. z/OS® is the IBM® operating system. You can include your Linux volumes in an existing z/OS backup solution that uses DFSMShsm. This backup solution works in two environments: (1) a z/OS focused environment with z/OS running on several LPARs and a few dozen Linux servers running under z/VM® in an LPAR; (2) a Linux-focused environment with z/VM running in BASIC mode, with hundreds to thousands of Linux guests, and one or more z/OS guests that will perform the DFSMShsm processing.
