Backing up a zFS aggregate

Figure 1 shows an example of a job for backing up a zFS aggregate (and all the file systems). Ensure that the size of the target sequential data set has sufficient space. For additional information about the DUMP command and its keywords, see z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage Administration.

Important: Do not specify TOL(ENQF) when backing up zFS aggregates.
