BACKUPCC Command Limitations

The BACKUPCC command is limited to the capabilities of DFSMSdss because CA Disk uses the DFSMSdss data mover interface. One noticeable difference is in the restore process.

Most of the CA Disk RESTORE target allocation parameters are not supported. A data set backed up with BACKUPCC must be restored back to its original volume in its original format. For example:

• For non-VSAM data sets, the POOL= or VOLUME= parameters are not supported. Preallocate the data set before executing the restore to redirect the restore to a different volume.

  Note: If you have a system allocation package such as CA Allocate or DFSMS, the portion of this limitation regarding redirection does not exist.

• For the VSAM clusters, the FREESPACE=, DNAME=, parameters are not supported. The only way to alter cluster characteristics is to predefine the cluster before executing the restore.

Note: For PDSE version 2 data sets, DSORG is displayed as POE rather than PO2 on BACKUPCC reports.
