About offload options

IMS Recovery Expert allows you to offload backups to tape (or another disk location if you choose). You can define various options for offloads depending on the backup method selected.

When you build a backup profile and set the Perform Offload field to Y, IMS Recovery Expert offloads the backup according to your specifications when you run the job. Specify how many generations of backups that you want to keep; IMS Recovery Expert deletes the oldest copy if required.
