Willie, When you issue a manual HBACK it should be immediate. You should have some messages in your DFHSM task or logs and if done through TSO a message should come back to that session with more information. The messages should tell you why the HBACK did not work.
I have seen it not work due to a migrate not having been done first. Lizette > > Good Morn, > > Could somedbody advise as to how I can trigger the backup of a dsn.
