Extending save versions

Extending save versions is only relevant for backup archives with a SINGLE-SVID structure and for version backup archives if the save file, containing a save version, is on a disk storage, i.e. storage level S1, on public disk or Net-Storage.

A save version can be extended by means of the operand SAVE-FILE=*CONTINUE

• of the BACKUP-FILES statement if the archive involved has a SINGLE-SVID structure.
• of the BACKUP-FILE-VERSIONS statement if the save file is on disk storage or Net-Storage.

However, save versions can only be extended by a disjunctive number of files.

In case of version backup archive, only the very last save version can be extended.
