Explanation: ABARSKIP is used to specify which types of data sets that ABACKUP processing should skip. If a data set in an aggregate group is on a volume or volumes that are protected by peer-to-peer remote copy, specifying ABARSKIP(PPRC) causes ABACKUP processing to skip the data set and not back it up. If a data set is on a volume or volumes protected by extended remote copy, specifying ABARSKIP(XRC) causes ABACKUP processing to skip the data set and not back it up.
Specifying ABARSKIP(NOPPRC) or ABARSKIP(NOXRC) causes ABACKUP processing to not skip the corresponding data set and it is backed up.
SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when it is applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.
SETSYS default: None.
DFSMShsm default: The DFSMShsm default is NOPPRC and NOXRC.
