Graham, You may have heard that in z/OS V1.13 that IEBCOPY no longer needs to be apf authorized for some functions. That does not mean that IEBCOPY no longer works. You may wish to look at the share presentation from Aug 2011 on IEBCOPY and changes coming up with z/OS V1.13. IEBCOPY is still a good backup for PDS datasets. DFDSS is a good backup for most datasets What specifically do you want to do with the backup? Is this archive, transport, ???? I did not see your original post. Are you on the LISTSERVER or some other news process? If you have not joined the listserver please do, a lot more of us will see your postings then.
