Example 3. DUMP DATASET

You can dump individual partitions by using physical processing. Doing might help if you have a swap partition on a particular volume and you only want to back up the native, data holding partitions (there is probably no reason to back-up a swap partition).

Figure 1 shows an example of the JCL.

//LXD2J1BB JOB ,'IBMUSER',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),TIME=(5,0),REGION=4096K,
//      MSGCLASS=H,CLASS=A
//STEPT03  EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SOURCE   DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=LNX200,DISP=OLD
//TARGET   DD UNIT=TAPE,VOL=(PRIVAT,SER=111111),DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
//            DSN=TDS.DUMP200,LABEL=(1,SL)
//SYSIN    DD *
 DUMP INDDNAME(SOURCE) OUTDDNAME(TARGET) -
       DATASET(INCLUDE(LINUX.**.NATIVE)) ALLEXCP

You can also dump all of the Linux partitions. Figure 2 shows an example of the JCL.
