Hi,
Currently If I run a backup using ADRDSSU to tape, at end, the tape rewinds. I don't want this to happend, I want to be able to run multiple backup on the same tape without overwritting previous backup.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in adavce for all the information you can provide.
Hi,
I am having multiple DASD files which need to be backed up to tapes.Also I want to utilize the tape volumes efficiently.So, I am using label parameters in copying the DASD file to tape volumes.But I am not able to retrieve the backed up tapes without Volume Reference Parameters.
Basically in the first step, I am creating a tape file and in the second step, I am trying to create other tape with volume reference as of first tape.This is working.
My Retrieval JCL is in the format,
Here in the above quote,I am specifying the Volume reference since it gave me error when I specified without volume reference.
Please let me know the procedure to retrieve the tapes stored with labels without specifying its volume reference parameters.
I got the error message like Dataset not found.
Then I found that the corresponding file has not been catalogued.
When I catalogued it, I am able to retrieve the same without any Volume reference parameters.
