Backing up all eligible changed data sets in one or more storage groups

You can back up all of the eligible changed data sets in one or more storage groups by entering either of the following commands:

   BACKVOL STORAGEGROUP(sgn,...,sgn)
   BACKVOL STORAGEGROUP(sgn,...,sgn) INCREMENTAL

Processing for either of these commands is the same as explained in Backing up all eligible changed data sets on one or more volumes, in which DFSMShsm determines each volume involved from the definitions of the specified storage groups.

When you use the STORAGEGROUP parameter, DFSMShsm checks the AUTO BACKUP attribute of the management class for each changed data set, and does the following:
AUTO BACKUP=YES...
DFSMShsm performs the remainder of eligibility processing for the data set.
AUTO BACKUP=NO...
DFSMShsm does not process the data set.
