Using Other Backup Products

If you use as backup product from another vendor (such as FDR, DFDSS, and so on) to back up the CA View database, ensure that the database is not updated during the backup, and that the entire database is backed up. Any references to the database in this chapter refer to the CA View database unless otherwise noted.

If a database spans multiple volumes, perform full volume backups. To restore the database, restore all data sets comprising the database from the same backup. If, for example, a volume containing part of the database crashes, and updates have occurred since the backup, you cannot restore only that volume.

Important! If a tape management system is installed, do not override the CA View tape retention criteria by the tape management system with respect to abnormal termination (ABENDS).
