BACKUP: Displaying backup parameters and backup volumes

Explanation: BACKUP is an optional parameter for requesting a list of the backup and dump parameters and backup volumes.

Subparameter	Explanation
ALL	A list of all nonfull tape backup volumes and all DASD backup volumes is generated.
DAILY	A list of all nonfull daily tape backup volumes and all daily DASD backup volumes is generated. For day, substitute a decimal number from 1 to 31 to list the daily backup volumes associated with the specified day in the backup cycle.
SPILL	A list of all nonfull tape spill backup volumes and all DASD spill backup volumes is generated.
UNASSIGNED	A list of all nonfull unassigned tape backup volumes and all unassigned DASD backup volumes is generated. There are two types of unassigned volumes: Unassigned backup volumes are those that you specified with the ADDVOL command without using the DAILY or SPILL subparameter (ADDVOL volser BACKUP). Unassigned daily backup volumes are those that you specified as daily backup volumes with the ADDVOL command, but that you did not associate with any day in the backup cycle (ADDVOL volser BACKUP(DAILY)).

Defaults: If you specify DAILY without day, DFSMShsm lists all daily nonfull tape backup volumes and all daily DASD backup volumes.

Note: Full backup tapes may appear in the list if you have not issued a FIXCDS REFRESH command.
