You're not the only one, sorry for not mentioning it before.

Other problems include needing VM52408 and VM53817 and VM48713 for ESA
370 because of a storage management problem in CMS that causes VMBACKUP
5.2/5.3 to abend when restoring large (3900+ filespaces in my case)
filepools.  A workaround for this in XA or ESA ESA is to enlarge the
storage for the VMBACKUP SVM. Also, remember when restoring a filepool,
you will wipe out all prior files, directories, etc.
