Combining the functions

z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration
SC23-6868-01

To combine the volume copy and volume dump functions to reduce your backup windows, perform the following procedure:

  1. Stop application access to the volumes.
  2. Copy the volumes by using full volume copy. Do not specify FASTREPLICATION(NONE). The copies complete very quickly if DFSMSdss can use FlashCopy® or SnapShot.
  3. Enable application access to the volumes.
  4. Backup the copies to tape using full volume dump.
