My 2 Cents.

First get connectivity to the VA7100.

1) Create new volume set
2) veaudit copyaccts with new, slightly different names  /* This will build the account
structure*/
3) get multiple processes doing an MPEX copy @[log in to unmask]
   minimum number of processes would depend on the number of processors.

** (watch out for message files.)

Once the copies are done

1) MPEX rename...    it will be fast

All done, in less time than a backup.
