This is one of the great things about VM:Spool from CA, the AUTOVSEG component automatically monitors your SDF's, backs them up to disk whenever they change, and can automatically restore them if they are found missing (such as after a cold IPL). I agree, SPXTAPE to disk (CMS files) should have been done by IBM a long time ago, but until that is done I sleep better at night with VM:Spool.
