Hi all, I wanted to ask about how to make a backup process of Mini Disk
from z/VM, I long ago looking for some references on the Internet I
found an example of how to make 16 copies of MiniDisk on a single tape
cartridge, but cannot remember page or how it was that I found.
Could someone help me

You could do a physical backup using DDR (help ddr for more info).
A logical backup, which can be reloaded to any size mdisk or to/from SFS can be
done via VMFPLC2 (help vmfplc2 for details).

Hi all, I wanted
More sophisticated backup tools you can get for Euros e.g. from CA, IBM,
and I believe also others.
We've been working with VM:Backup for about twenty years.

Hello
Ok I got all the files/program
XmitManager (takes the file out of the tso receive)
USPS zip file (has the files)
VMA (pc version of vmarc)
unziped the file
pull the 240 300 fonts out of the PDS format
used VMA to create a VMARC of the files
ind$file that up to customer's VM site

Tim,
For AFP resource files like fonts that have been uploaded in a binary format
from a PC, you probably need to reblock them into the normal record
structure for the host. See
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psd1P4000182 to get the
AFRREBLK tool for MVS and VM. There are links
Tim,
From this earlier note of yours, I assume that you are using the AFP fonts
for PSF/VM to print to the MPI Tech Blue Server (I'm not familiar with the
MPI Tech Blue Server) so that PSF/VM sees it as an IPDS printer, and the
Blue Server transforms the AFP data into PCL for the printer.
On
Tim,
My guess would be that the MPI Tech Blue Server (if it is doing the
transform I think it is) is only going to use the 300 pel version of the
fonts, and that both the 240 and 300 pel versions have the same member names
so you will need to keep them separate.

Mario,
If you are looking for something you saw mentioned on the IBMVM discussion
list, you can search the IBMVM list archives very easily for previous
posts by going to:
http://listserv.uark.edu/archives/ibmvm.html
that site is actually very simple -- and **should be saved in the browser
I think we're conflating two issues — I wanted to know about the issue of PCL.
I'm playing with an idea to be able to eliminate some of the outboard
processing. From what I can see in the docs (at least for z/OS AFP), AFP now
natively supports PCL4 printers. I'm curious if anyone has tried this
David,
What two issues are conflated? I'm getting confused now. I was only
trying to answer Tim's question about how to get the USPS AFP fonts for IMB
into a format that PSF/VM could use.
Can you give a link to what you see that indicates AFP now natively
supports PCL4 printers? Many kinds
Hello
Ok I took the Zip file and extracted the fonts ...
Yep the 240 are not needed .. but just in case I'm doing both and watchin

my filetype names
So now I have the Files as they would be on MVS .. but sitting on the PC

likely not blocked as why would you need that, when the library

Tim,
I don't understand the last paragraph. When you move AFP resources around,
just use binary all the time. There is no such thing as blocks or records
on the PC, and then you do a binary upload to a VM file that is RECFM V and
then run AFRREBLK to fix it.
If you enter afrreblk ?
it gives
