Backupsets and DB2

2002-10-30 Thread Lars Bebensee 
Hi guys and girls,

Even if I do not like asking stupid questions, this one bothers me for a
while now:
Is it possible or even useful to take backup sets of API backup data like
the one DB2 creates? If it is not useful to take such backupsets, will the
only way to store data offsite be a copy storage pools overflow location?

Thanks for helping

Lars

No, you cannot take a backupset of API data.  Backupset only work on
file system data backed up though the B-A client.
