TBACKUP

This parameter specifies backup options.

Syntax:

TBACKUP=YES|NO|IDX

The default is YES.

Values are as follows:

YES

Both the SYSOUT groups archived to the current disk generation and the master index are written to tape as part of the backup cycle.

NO

Neither the SYSOUT groups archived to the current disk generation nor the master index is written to tape as part of the backup cycle.

IDX

Only the master index is written to tape as part of the backup cycle.

Important! Specifying either NO or IDX for the TBACKUP parameter can prevent future recovery of data if there is a media failure or other type of failure.

Important! The CA View database has a tape capacity of 65535 tapes. Once tape capacity reaches 90 percent, SARBKT98 informational messages are seen in the SARSTC task. If full tape capacity is reached, an SARTPO61 error message is issued, and the SARSTC task issues an U0061 abend. For more information, see the Message Guide.
