Copying the catalog and control data sets

You can ensure faster disaster recovery if you use remote copy functions to copy volumes that contain the master catalog, key user catalogs, and system control data sets to the recovery system.

Remote copy automatically copies all data sets on the managed volumes. Managed volumes can include catalog data sets and control data sets. XRC can copy any data set type, which includes JES spool, JES checkpoint, system volumes, and paging volumes.
