Using the Concurrent Copy Backup Support

Before the CA Disk backup process can begin; a synchronization point must be established to ensure the integrity of the data being backed up. This is a five step process:

  1. Create and/or verify that the DSCL command stream with the action command BACKUPCC is ready for execution.
  2. The online system targeted for BACKUPCC must be quiesced. This ensures that all data set I/O buffers are written to disk.
  3. Execute the BACKUPCC job created in step 1.
  4. Verify that the INITIALIZATION COMPLETE message issued from ADSDI106 was sent to the SYSLOG. This message indicates to the online administrator that it is now safe to resume online processing.
  5. Restart the online system.
