What happens when you do a manual HBACKDS against a zFS file? Does it get backed up?
zFS files are basically linear VSAM datasets. I am not sure if they are backed up if they are mounted or being used.

I followed the directions in the manual and made sure the Default Group had a GID and the Started Task user id also has a UID (0) and a directory of '/' (root). The files still aren't backing up. We are on zos 1.12 and I also changed the INCREMENTALBACKUP to ORIGINAL to pick these up since they didn't already have a backup. Has anyone implemented this and does it work? I can't figure out what I'm missing or why they aren't backing up. The HFS files show up as being queised and then get backed up.
