VBACKUP Security Considerations

CA Disk performs all volume-level security checking prior to backing up each DASD volume. No data set-level security checking is performed. If there is not sufficient authority to backup a volume, the VBACKUP job will end and the volume will not be backed up. CA Disk will only check for volume-level authority to the volume if one of the three security interfaces is activated and sysparm SECURVOL defaults to a value of Y. Use of the VBACKUP command itself can be restricted by CA Disk. For more information on volume security, protecting CA Disk commands, and security authorization levels for VBACKUP, see the section Security Processing in the Systems Guide.
