PH66184: FLASHCOPY SUPPORT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Enhance -  IBM Backup and Restore Manager has been enhanced to
  exploit Persistent FlashCopy for Disk-to-Tape backup.
  .
             This feature helps to create logical copy of source
             that would be copied to Tape. After the backup has
             completed, the FlashCopy logical copy is destroyed.
             This helps to reduce system downtime during backups.
  .
             Refer to new content in "IBM Backup and Restore
             Manager for z/VM - Administration Guide" for
             details of configuring FlashCopy.
