Using a TAPE DEFINE With Backup
Using a TAPE DEFINE With Backup
This example shows how to back up the files in disk volume $DISK2.WEEK to two
labeled backup tapes with volume IDs TP022 and TP023.
1. Create the TAPE DEFINE (here named =MYBACKUP) to be used for your backup,
using the ADD DEFINE command to describe the labeled tape.
2. Confirm the TAPE DEFINE attributes and their values by using the INFO DEFINE
command to display information about =MYBACKUP.
3. Enter a Backup command using the TAPE DEFINE named =MYBACKUP.
Backup displays a mount request for this job at the operator console:
4. You or the operator mount the requested tape.
Because the DEFINE named =MYBACKUP does not include a DEVICE attribute,
the two tapes for this Backup operation can be mounted, in order, on any available
drive.
The system checks the DEFINE attributes with the mounted tape. The Backup
operation starts after the correct tape is mounted (in this case, a labeled backup tape
with volume ID TP022).
