Backing up an individual data set

Backing up an individual cataloged data set is performed in the same way as for SMS-managed data sets. However, to back up individual uncataloged data sets, issue the following command:

   BACKDS dsname UNIT(unittype) VOLUME(volser)
 
   HBACKDS dsname UNIT(unittype) VOLUME(volser)

The HBACKDS form of the command can be used by either non-DFSMShsm-authorized or DFSMShsm-authorized users. The BACKDS form of the command can be used only by DFSMShsm-authorized users. The UNIT and VOLUME parameters are required because DFSMShsm cannot locate an uncataloged data set without being told where it is.
