VM and Linux Backup Operations in Z System

[Alican36]

Hello everyone,
I work in an institution where the Mainframe system is used. Our backup structure for VM and Linux is tape backup over 1 lpar and there is an OSA card definition for each Linux. We also use suse. Is there a different method or document you can recommend for VM and Linux backups on mainframe systems?
Thank you from now.

there is no procedure to backup aix and linux on lpar as VMs. You have to install netbackup agent and treat them as physical machines.

And I think that a mainframe system is different than lpars (power systems)

Hi StefanosM,

Additionally I have a few more questions.

1-Can I use the Netbackup agent on mainframe systems? If the answer is yes, what method should I follow for vm and linux backup? If the answer is no, what is the reason?

2-Is the Netbackup agent a product used more for open systems rather than mainframes?

Thanks.
