Backing up all eligible changed data sets on one or more volumes

You can back up all the eligible changed data sets on one or more volumes by issuing either of the following commands:

   BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,...,volser)

   BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,...,volser) INCREMENTAL

Processing for either of these commands is the same as that explained in Phase 4: Backing up SMS-managed volumes from storage groups with the automatic backup attribute, except:
  • No list of volumes to process is retrieved
  • If you specify the BACKUPDEVICECATEGORY parameter of the BACKVOL command, DFSMShsm backs up the data sets to the volume type you specify
