How friendly and fast is FAST DUMP RESTORE
J. P. Marrevée · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 1980
FAST DUMP RESTORE, shortly named FDR, is a very well known software package, delivered by the software house Innovation Data Processing, and in some countries of Europe commercially supported by Westinghouse. This package is used in many computer centres using one of IBM's big operating systems e.g. MVT or MVS. According to Innovation's own remarks it became one of the most succesful software products in the world with about 3000 users, and since 1974 it is every year on the DATAPRO HONOR ROLL. It should, among others, provide superior performance on creation of dumps or restores of disk packs.
