Figure 18-6 illustrates the use of Global Copy for point-in-time backup solutions. 
Figure 18-6   Global Copy environment
When you are planning to use Global Copy for point-in-time backup solutions, and if you are 
going to have tertiary copies, then within the target disk subsystem you should have an 
available set of volumes ready to become the FlashCopy target. 
If your next step is to move the tertiary volumes onto tapes, then you must ensure that the 
tape resources are capable of handling these dump operations in between the point-in-time 
checkpoints, unless you have additional sets of volumes ready to become alternate 
FlashCopy targets.
