We have the same configuration as you. The Volhist/Devconf files are copied to cartridge daily with standard OS/390 utility in a batch job. You can use DFSMSdss, FDR, IEBGENER, HSM BACKDS, or whatever is available in your shop. Sam Sheppard San Diego Data Processing Corp.

Currently the Devconfig & Volhist files are kept on DASD and are updated automatically when the TSM DB is updated. We do a full volume backup of our DASD every evening after our batch production is finished. The TSM backup of the clients has a window of 18:00 thru 3:00am & after that TSM AM processing starts. This includes backing up the primary stgpools to the copy pool and a TSM DB backup to cartridge, which are then taken OFFSITE. I have a concern that in the event of a real disaster my volhist(which would change) and devconfig(if by some slim chance was changed) would be out of sync with the OFFSITE TSM DB backup. I am thinking a way around this would be to copy the volhist and devconfig to cartridge just before the TSM DB backup and send this OFFSITE with the rest. My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way I can easily copy these two file to cartridge. The Backup DB devclass=cart3590 sends the DB backup to cartridge, but there are no such options for the volhist or devconfig. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I searched as many resources (manuals, redbooks etc.) but could not seem to find anything. My only other option would be to cut and paste to a text file which would take a lot of time. Any ideas?
