Hi, The programmers would like incremental backups done of their test datasets. If I understand what the manual has told me, I have already completed the following steps:
1. Created CPY004 (Copy Pool definition for SMS Storage Groups TEST, TSTEXTAD and TSTLARGE). 2. Defined DUMPCLASS(INCRDLY). 3. Created control card for FlashCopy: HSENDCMD FRBACKUP CP(CPY004) EXECUTE FCINCREMENTAL DCLASS(INCRDLY) 4. Created job to send the command to DFSMShsm. Information that might be needed: - Total number of volumes in SMS Storage group TEST, TSTEXTAD & TSTLARGE is 347. - Total number of volumes in SMS Storage Group BKPOOL is 451. Here's the questions: 1. Since I'm using the same CopyPool volumes that I use at 5:00 am for the full volume backups, if I schedule the incremental backups to happen at 5:00 pm, will I have a problem? 2. Can I test it? Thanks very much for any and all assistance. * * *George Rodriguez* *Specialist II - IT Solutions* *Application Support / Quality Assurance* *PX - 47652* *(561) 357-7652 (office)* *(561) 707-3496 (mobile)* *School District of Palm Beach County* *3348 Forest Hill Blvd.* *Room B-251* *West Palm Beach, FL. 33406-5869* *Florida's Only A-Rated Urban District For Seven Consecutive Years* Home of Florida's first LEED Gold Certified School Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records.
