The other problem with DCSSBKUP and DCSSRSAV is that the DCSS creation time
stamp is not restored. That and not being able to handle NSS's has put
those two programs on a really far, back burner for me. It shouldn't be
rocket science for IBM to come up with a DCSS/NSS copy to/from disk with
time stamp retention, I wouldn't think.

The aforementioned DCSSBKUP and DCSSRSAV will work for DCSS but not Named
Saved Systems (IPL-able thing like CMS, GCS, etc.).
Wasn't there some mention of a clever PIPE solution handle named saved
systems recently on the list?
Of course, CA:VSeg-Plus would probably do it to disk (not 100% certain),
but first you need a license for VM:Spool.

Saving a backup copy of NSSs with no tape drive
Hi... I suspect the answer is no, but it never hurts to ask...
We're about to put maintenance on a system that has no tape drives...
(Yes there are drives in the shop, but not defined to the VM LPAR, and
they don't do dynamic I/O, and the POR window is too far out to help.)
Is there any way to copy/save/backup the system data files (NSSs etc.)
in the spool without a tape drive?
Thanks,
Lee
