Thanks Scott. Going forward, when DSS creates the new dump data sets on DASD, there's no problem. I was only trying to copy previous back ups to DISK, which apparently can't be done. Tom --- I think I'm out of luck, but wanted to verify first. We're z/OS

Todd, this is not a stupid suggestion at all. Many (most?) of these data sets contain back up copies of existing VSAM datasets, so restoring them without a rename would be a problem, unless I: - restore them to my test system (no shared catalogs) - rerun DSS back up on test system, with output to

To create on disk (preferably stream rather than CKD) an image of a tape suitable for transmission by FTP BINARY even to a non-IBM system, and from there recreating the original tape with all labels and data sets intact. Good thought. The TSO TRANSMIT command can convert a DSS dump into an

You may use TV (Tape to VSAM) function of DITTO/ESA. If the tape block size is less than 32760 bytes, you can use TS (Tape to Sequential data) function. When you define the VSAM ESDS for over 32K tape block size, you have to specify SPANNED parameter and large number of RECORDSIZE that fit the
