not be interpreted as the values to be used for your system.
Displaying the application data sets to be backed up and verifying application backup
In this example, the data sets to be backed up, as indicated in
the aggregate group PAY1, are displayed. The ABACKUP command is verified
to ensure that it can complete successfully with no errors. No data
sets are backed up.
ABACKUP PAY1 VERIFY
Backing up the application data sets
In this example, the data sets to be backed up, as indicated in
the aggregate group PAY1, are backed up. A 3590-1 is specified as
the tape unit type for the control and data files.
ABACKUP PAY1 EXECUTE UNIT(3590-1)
Backing up the application data sets to a minimum number of tapes
In this example, the data sets to be backed up, as indicated in
the aggregate group PAY1, are backed up and the output files are stacked
onto a minimum number of tape volumes.

Sample activity log created when you specify ABACKUP with the VERIFY parameter
Figure 1 is a sample activity log created when you
specify ABACKUP with the VERIFY parameter. The processing has been
successful. The data sets listed in the sample activity log would
actually be backed up if you issued the ABACKUP command with the EXECUTE
parameter.
