Hello,
Question on expanding a CMS. Normally I create a new mini disk(larger) and
use COPYFile Old to New mini disk. That could leave Cylinder gaps on disk
when old mini disk is deleted.
Is there a procedure that allows me to back up a mini disk and restore to a new
larger mini disk,
Joe,
If you got DFSMS installed, the DFSMS COPY command followed by a CMS format
recomp, is a very nice and fast option to copy one minidisk to a new fresh
(unformatted) minidisk.
More convinient is of course to use a directory manager...

Joe,
I've seen customers use the COPY operation, on z/OS, adding:
COPYV ALLEXCP
The disks being copied were not CMS, but I guess you may try that.
HTH,

With the way you describe your situation, you need to copy the files on the
existing/current CMS minidisk to a temporary area. That could be another
minidisk of equal or larger size or TAPE DUMP the minidisk (if you have some
kind of tape subsystem available). Once the COPY or TAPE DUMP is
Dirmaint does this very simply, if you have it
