Track Image Processing for Volume-Level Functions

An exception to standard CA Disk processing at the data set level explained previous is the volume-level processing for the VBACKUP and VRECOVER functions. These functions back up, restore data at the volume level, and use track image processing. CA Disk does not examine separate data sets in these functions, and the data is restored exactly as it was backed up, but for an entire volume, not a single data set. Since no catalog action is taken during track image processing, you must verify that the catalog and recovered volume are in sync.
