In order to backup the entire sphere, the following restrictions apply:

• No more than one PATH can be defined for the data set to back up, and no more than one PATH can be defined for the NEWNAME data set.
• No more than one AIX can exist for the data set to back up, and no more than one AIX can exist for the NEWNAME data set.

If multiple AIXs and/or PATHs exist for one or both of the data sets, specify SPHERE(NO) to back up the base cluster.
