< snip > I've looked through the DF/dss manuals and I can't figure out how to do a backup of the dataset allocations only. With FDR, you can backup a volume with a parm of
SELECT ALLDSN,DATA=NONE which will allow you to create a backup which contains only the necessary information to restore the dataset allocations, but not the data within them. .............................. < snip > If you have DF/hsm then you can use ABARS to backup just allocation information (also does a lot more!)
