Not exactly. A lot depends upon how you do things, but backing up just a CSI isn't much use. If you are going to restore, you will need the entire environment, including every library that was touched during the ACCEPT (in this case). When you ACCEPT, you will be changing Distribution libraries. You will also be updating the GLOBAL zone. If you have PURGE set in your options, you will also REJECT, the accepted SYSMODs will also be deleted from the SMPPTS, and any SMPTLIB data sets for any Functions will be deleted. SMPMTS, SMPSTS, and SMPSCDS may also be affected. >Should I do that "within" SMPE? Or can I just use idcams to backup my CSI >cluster? You can use ZONECOPY to copy your Target or Distribution zone. ZONEEXPORT can back up Global, Target, or Distribution zones. None of these are adequate by themselves. They will not back up any of the other data sets that were updated by ACCEPT . -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
