TAPECOPY of specific backup tapes

z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide
SC23-6869-01

If there is a request for TAPECOPY for a specific backup tape and the tape is in use, the TAPECOPY operation fails. The system issues Message ARC0425I indicating the tape is in use. If the tape is in use, use the HOLD BACKUP(DSCOMMAND(SWITCHTAPES)) to demount the tapes in use.
