Responding to CA VM:Backup Messages

CA VM:Backup sends you messages asking you to detach minidisks to which it is about to restore data if you have read/write links to those minidisks. (CA VM:Backup also sends these messages to all other users who have read/write links to those minidisks.)

Use the Respond to VM:Backup (n messages waiting) option on the main menus to check messages CA VM:Backup has sent to your user ID and respond to those messages, if necessary. In this option, n is the number of messages waiting.

Enter 4 on the command line of the Novice User Main Menu or 6 on the command line of the Expert User Main Menu to select the following Respond to VM:Backup (n messages waiting) option and display the screen.
