We are running on os390 with a 22gig database and our full database
     backup takes about 5.5 hours.  Because the full backup takes so long
     we run it only once a week and run incrementals in between.  The
     incrementals run much faster.

We are currently running ADSM V3 Server on an OS/390 platform.  Our ADSM
D/B is 15Gig spread over multiple volumes. Our Full ADSM D/B backup is
taking around 4 hours to complete.  We are looking for any performance
improvements, tips, or hints, so that  we can  decrease the runtime of this
process.

  Any and all information regarding this situation would be most
appreciated.


Thanks....
