BACKUPSTORAGEGROUP: Overriding the copy pool backup storage group with an alternate storage group

Explanation: BACKUPSTORAGEGROUP is an optional keyword that can be used with the EXECUTE and PREPARE keywords. It is a copy pool backup storage group that is defined within the pool storage group. You can use the BACKUPSTORAGEGROUP parameter to override the copy pool backup storage group with an alternate storage group.

When BACKUPSTORAGEGROUP is specified with an alternate copy pool backup storage group (CPBSG) name, DFSMShsm will attempt to override the existing CPBSG specifications in the copy pool with the alternate. When BACKUPSTORAGEGROUP is specified without a storage group name, DFSMShsm will attempt to use the CPBSG defined in the pool type storage group(s).
