Bill you showed the backup control cards, but not the restore control cards. can you show the output from the failed restore, specifically the ADR** error message? also, are you attempting to restore datasets that already exist? Carmen Vitullo

I need to backup and restore form (if necessary) the "runtime libraries". What utilities are normally used? I have been having issues with DFSMS ADRDSSU. My restores failed. Also having issues with EMCSNAP as I am not familiar with it. thanks Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
