BACKUP Control Option

The most critical file is the Security File itself. CA Top Secret has an automatic backup feature that is set to copy the Security File to a DASD backup file daily, at 1:00 a.m. by default. This Backup File is critical to the built-in recovery capability. You can change the time of backup or deactivate the automatic backup through the BACKUP control option. Also, a backup can be taken at any time from the console using the BACKUP control option. Review the Control Options Guide for the use and syntax of the BACKUP control option. In a shared environment, a backup is only active on one system.
