We're currently in the process of upgrading from R6 to R9. We are using a combination of a tool called AUTOBKUP, which was purchased many years ago, and BRMS to perform our nightly backups. The AUTOBKUP process does perform some XA processing that does some cleanup. We have a production and HA system. At night we make the production system unavailable for 1 hour in order for the HA system to catch up on replication from the production system. Basically, so we can get have a clean cutoff. After the hour has passed a command is submitted to the HA box to perform the backup to tape. My concern is that the AUTOBKUP tool we have will not work properly for R9. I would like to perform the backup using XA processes even if embedded in a custom application or BRMS control groups.

Now my question. How're others performing backups in R7.8 and up? Are you using the XA unattended backup option or some other process?
