Offloading a backup

If offload options were set for the backup in the backup profile, you can offload a backup listed on the Restore System Display panel.

1. To offload a backup, specify O next to the backup and press Enter.

2. On the Build Offload Job panel, specify information in the following fields:

   Edit Generated Job

   Specify Y to view the job in an ISPF edit session after generation. If you specify N, you will return to the System Level Backup Display panel after the job is generated.

   Build job in Data set/Member

   Specify the fully qualified data set name (without quotes) where you want to save the generated job. This data set must exist and can be sequential or a PDS. If the data set is a PDS, specify a member name. If the member does not exist, IMS Recovery Expert will create it.

   Job Cards

   Specify a valid job card for your site.

3. Press Enter, or PF3 to cancel.
