Thanks, do you know if we can use ADSM to back up the data stored on the
EMC Symmetrix box?

For our mainframe data, we currently use dfdss on the mainframe  for some
types of mainframe dataset backups, and we use FDR for full volume nightly
backups.
For our small platform data, we use ADSM and Arcserve both.

I was hoping to not implement a new backup system for small platform data,
we have years invested in ADSM.

FDR/Upstream is a 'piece' of the bigger product from Innovation called FDR
(Fast Dump Restore).
This product is a replacement for IBM's DFSMSdss on OS390.  With additional
'pieces', it extends to offer benefits for other platforms as well.  Plus,
FDR/Upstream, as I understand, functions only with EMC Symmetrix boxes.
Not
to knock it, but if you are thinking of using FDR/Upstream for your Open
Systems environment and you have DFSMSdss you've opened a big can of worms.
That is, a replacement for your OS390 data facility products.
Good luck!
