It describes two backup methods: 1. Using SFS-provided utilities 2. Using non-SFS-provided utilities Case 2 requires that the SFS server be down. The collection of minidisks that comprise the SFS server are a single entity. If there is a discrepancy among the disks, which is correct? If there's one *detected* mismatch, might there be other *un*detected mismatches? So there is no "ignore the error and keep going". If it were simply an uncommitted unit of work (the system dies during SFS processing), it would be backed out automatically. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
