But I'm curious. I believe SMF is RECFM=VBS; RACF (I'm less sure) is VSAM. What FTP options work for those? Must index, data, and cluster be transferred separately, or does FTP know what to do. Should the receiving data sets be pre-allocated? Etc? Do you verify that those archives are functional?
A Google search suggests it's tricky. I suspect it might be true likewise for database stores on non-mainframe systems.
