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.

Subject: DFSMShsm and backing up ZFS files

Hi,  I am trying to have DFSMShsm backup our ZFS files during AUTOBACKUPSTART 
time period.  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.  Thanks Joanthan Miller
