Hi:
Regarding RACF protection of VOLCAT (tape volume catalog), I found the
following paragraph in IBM DFSMS documentation:

In general, tape users do not require any RACF access authority to the VOLCAT.
During job processing, the updates to the VOLCAT are made by authorized system

Quite so. If you search for "USS" in IBM z/OS 2.5 documentation:

Not unless you have a time machine; Unformatted System Services dates to the
1970s. Further, the last post here from IBM on the issue said that USS was not
an approved abbreviation for Unix System Services.

Yes. You can use the DUPLEX option on the OUTPUT JCL statement with
Printway Extended as long as you have set the correct values in
duplexes-supported in your printer definition. If you tell Printway what
kind of duplexing your printer supports, then it can do it.

Also make sure that your decryption keys for the backed up data are stored
somewhere off mainframe and air-gapped from the Internet. A backup won't do you
much good if you can't decrypt it.

As already mentioned, having defined copies of your data over time helps.
Just make sure your recovery point and time are understood since the real
tricky part is going back to a point before you were hacked.

Shops I've worked at have mostly relied on the general protections against
intrusion, plus good (frequently tested) backup copies.
I'd go further and say that a proper archive (write once, can't update) is
essential if you rely on old data.
