Step 6: Back Up the Current CP Directory

As a precaution, back up your current directory before continuing. Use the VMXBKP01 utility to make a backup. VMXBKP01 writes a USER DIRECT file to disk. Send a copy of the USER DIRECT file to OPERATOR’s reader. We also recommend you write a copy of this file to tape.

As an extra precaution, you may also want to take a full DDR dump of the volume containing your object directory.
