Re: Restoration of IAM datasets
So they replaced some VSAM data sets with IAM ones and now want to manage them. Talk to Innovation or read their manuals is the best advice. By the way you might want to enquire why they replaced these VSAM data sets with IAM ones (probably expecting performance gains) so you can anticipate whether some more might get replaced. Not knowing the IAM product particularly well, and being an employee of the maker of VSAM :-) , I have to assume Innovation have a method of managing these data sets.

Re: Restoration of IAM datasets
Martin is implying you should contact Innovation and ask them if logical backup/restore is appropriate for IAM. They developed their own access method. Depending upon their design, your backup / restore utility might have special requirements. Maybe it requires the same track size. Maybe it's unmoveable or must keep the same extent size.
