Backing up all changed data sets on volumes

You can back up all eligible changed data sets on non-SMS-managed volumes, whether the volumes are managed by DFSMShsm or not. Issue the following additional commands to back up non-SMS-managed volumes:

BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,volser,...volser)
 
BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,volser,...volser) FREQUENCY(days)
 
BACKVOL VOLUMES(volser,volser,...volser) UNIT(unittype) -
   FREQUENCY(days)
 
BACKVOL PRIMARY INCREMENTAL
 
BACKVOL PRIMARY INCREMENTAL FREQUENCY(days)

The first two forms of the command are used for backing up volumes that are managed by DFSMShsm. The first form backs up the changed data sets on the volume in accordance with the frequency for the system as specified by the SETSYS command. The next form uses the frequency specified on the command to replace the attribute specified for the system.

The third form of the command backs up a volume that is not managed by DFSMShsm.

The last two forms of the command use either the frequency attribute specified for the system or the one specified in the command to back up all the non-SMS-managed primary volumes in the system.
