If a backed up version with the same DSNAME and a more recent timestamp exists, might the backup be skipped? Likewise, I noticed (long ago; it may now be different) that when I restored a data set from a backup copy, it was given the timestamp of the time of the restore. This would seem to cause HSM to back up the data set needlessly at the next cycle. I suppose there are different timestamps in many places; it all depends on which one the backup utility honors. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
