Specifying Archival to Disk

CA Disk is distributed with default sysparms that cause archive and backup copies of data sets to be written to tape, creating both a primary and a duplicate copy tape concurrently. You can tell CA Disk to write archive and backup copies of archive data sets to disk instead. You can write both the primary and duplicate copies to disk, or assign them to different media. You can also dummy out the duplicate copy. Indicate your choice of archive media either through JCL or CA Disk sysparms ARC0TYPE and ARCCTYPE.
